- Abstract
Aim We aimed to assess the association between furcation involvement ( FI) and tooth loss for subjects not undergoing regular periodontal treatment. Materials and Methods Data from 2333 subjects participating in the baseline and 11-year follow-up of the Study of Health in Pomerania ( SHIP) were used. All subjects had half-mouth periodontal examinations, including FI in one upper and one lower molar, at baseline. A total of 1897 subjects and 3267 molars were included in the final analysis. Results In total, 375 subjects (19.8%) lost molars during the follow-up period. Respectively, 5.6%, 12.7%, 34.0% and 55.6% of molars without FI, degree I FI, degree II FI and degree III FI were lost. Initial probing pocket depth ( PPD) and clinical attachment level ( CAL) were associated with molar loss ( p < .001). Baseline degree I FI was associated with a 1.73 IRR (incidence rate ratio) (95% CI=1.34-2.23, p < .001) of tooth loss while degree II- III was associated with a 3.88 IRR (95% CI=2.94-5.11, p < .001) of tooth loss compared to molars without FI at baseline. Conclusion This study provides evidence for an increased risk of molar loss affected by periodontal furcation involvement in a general population not undergoing regular periodontal care.
