Change of furcation grade level
Proportion of sites demonstrating improvement in furcation grade level as measured with Nabers probe
Time frame: 12 months after treatment

Time frame: 24 months after treatment
Changes in patient-reported quality of life (QoL)
To assess QoL changes related to mouth and teeth prior to therapy to after therapy by the use of "The Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP)" instrument. Each question is assessed by a 5-point scale; (1) never affected, (2) less than once a month, (3) once or twice a month, (4) once or twice a week; and (5) every or nearly every day. The higher number represents more severe impact on quality of life; e.g. worse outcome. Each item will be dichotomised yielding the categories (A) affected; including scale categories (2)-(5), and (B) unaffected, including category (1).
Time frame: Preoperatively compared to 24 months after treatment

Cone beam computed tomography will be acquired at baseline, 2 weeks postoperatively and 24 months postoperatively. This outcome measures quantitative morphologic changes in the furcation defects at 24 months
Time frame: 24 months after treatment
Changes in CAL
Changes in clinical attachment level will be measured with a probe in mm

Radiographic changes
Standardized intraoral bitewing radiographs will be obtained and compared to baseline radiographs

Pain following surgery
Pain sensation for one week posteoperatively will be recorded on a visual analog scale scale from 0-10. 0 is equivalent to no pain, whereas 10 is the highest pain imagineable.
Time frame: Daily for 1 week postoperatively
Caries assessment
Caries in furcation defect assessed with an explorer will be recorded as (Y/N)
Time frame: 12 months
