Various classification systems have been proposed to describe furcation lesions and Glickman's classification for many years seems to have been the most widely utilized in the sole clinical diagnosis with no reference to the prognostic value of the lesion itself. This article reviews the previous classification systems and proposes a new method to classify furcation lesions based on the position of the gingival margin and its relationship with the furcation area (clinically exposed/non-exposed furcation area) providing significant aid for a better understanding of furcation involvements and increases the prognostic value of treatments in the long term.
已经提出了各种分类系统来描述根分叉病变，多年来，Glickman分类似乎是唯一用于临床诊断的最广泛使用的分类系统，而没有考虑病变本身的预后价值。本文回顾了以前的分类系统，并提出了一种基于牙龈边缘位置及其与根分叉区域的关系（临床暴露/未暴露的根分叉区域）对根分叉病变进行分类的新方法，这有助于更好地理解根分叉病变，并从长远来看提高治疗的预后价值。
