Risk factors associated with the longevity of multi‐rooted teeth. Long‐term outcomes after active and supportive periodontal therapy

Abstract

FI = 1 was not a risk factor for tooth loss compared with FI = 0. FI = 2/3, smoking and lack of compliance with regular SPT represented risk factors for the loss of MRT in subjects treated for periodontitis.

Retaining or replacing molars with furcation involvement: a cost‐effectiveness comparison of different strategies

“…Similarly, varying clinical conditions was not found to change our ranking, whilst new data – for example regarding the combined effects of smoking and compliance of patients on survival of teeth (or implants) might affect our results (Salvi et al. ).…”

Furcation Therapy With Enamel Matrix Derivative: Effects on the Subgingival Microbiome

“…Furcation defects are associated with higher tooth mortality and attachment loss (AL) and are predictive of future AL 33 , 34 . Regenerative therapies appear to be effective in the treatment of buccal Class II furcations, leading to gain in horizontal and vertical CALs, reduction in PD and furcation closure 11–13 .…”

Tooth Loss in Patients under Periodontal Maintenance in a Private Practice: A Retrospective Study

“…Thirty-three point two percent of the teeth lost in the present study were three-rooted, followed in frequency by single-rooted teeth (30.7%) and double-rooted teeth (28.9%). Recent literature has shown that loss of molar teeth is related to smoking status, lack of compliance and furcation involvement or baseline bone loss in patients treated for periodontitis and under supportive periodontal therapy (19,20). A recent systematic review showed that the reported logistic regression models for studies assessing risk factors for tooth loss in patients who have received periodontal treatment are not optimal (21).…”
