Background- The search for alternative methods to treat grade III Furcation involvement with grade II/III mobility continues to evolve. The use of resin light cure glass ionomer cement to completely fill the furcation entrance may helps in improving the mobility status nd prolong the longevity of the tooth. Purpose- The purpose of the current study to treat degree III furcation defects with grade II/ III mobility by attempting to seal the defect by light cure glass ionomer cement. Methods- A total of 16 Patients were randomly divided in to two groups-Group I& Group II. Each group consisted of 8 patients with 8 sites. Group I consists of mandibular molar grade III furcation defects with grade II Mobility ,while group II consist of mandibular molar grade III furcation defects with grade III Mobility. All the groups were subjected to open flap debridement and light cure glass ionomer cement (LC-GIC) for the management of the furcation defect. The clinical parameters Plaque index (PI), Sulcular bleeding index (SBI), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), mobility index were evaluated at baseline and at 3 months post treatment.
