This paper describes: (1) a system for classification and treatment of furcation involvements, and (2) a 5‐year post‐operative evaluation of 100 patients treated for periodontal breakdown in the bi/tri‐furction areas. The results of this study demonstrate that it is possible to arrest further destruction within the root furcation area. The successful treatment of the multirooted teeth was probably the consequence of: (1) the quasi total elimination of plaque retention areas from the bi/tri‐furcation area, and (2) meticulous oral hygiene by the patients.
