a, b, c) Localised periodontitis case with associated EPL on tooth 26. The distal root shows recession as well as inflammatory root resorption and there is as a degree III furcation lesion. c, d) This case was not amendable to regenerative surgery. In this case, RCT was conducted, followed by resection of the distal root. e) Floss was used to pass a Coepak periodontal dressing through the furcation to try and maintain the space and facilitate regular plaque removal from the furcation area. f) At one month, the furcation is open, but there is still some inflammation present and ongoing supportive care will be needed. This case will likely be classed as survival rather than success
