Abstract

The diagnosis of a disease is of utmost importance and the entire outcome of the treatment depends upon it. For a proper diagnosis, different traditional as well as new modalities are there and many more are still under progression. The traditional and the gold standard diagnosis for furcation depends on the clinical examination using a Naber’s probe along with the periapical radiography. Various new modalities such as Computed tomography, Cone beam computed tomography, substraction radiography, digital radiography have been introduced with various latest fronteirs like fiberscopes, ultrasonography etc. This article reviews the traditional as well new frontiers that have made the diagnosis more precise and feasible.
