Factors associated with furcation involvement and fixed prostheses: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: The study aims to explore the relationship between horizontal and vertical furcation involvement (FI) in teeth with or without a single unit fixed prosthesis (FP).

Materials And Methods: Adult subjects presenting to the periodontics department requiring cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis were recruited for this study. 79 patients, with a total of 200 teeth, were split into two groups based on the presence or absence of FP within the same patient.

Virtual occlusal records acquired by using intraoral scanners: A review of factors that influence maxillo-mandibular relationship accuracy.
