Open flap debridement with osteoplastyOpen flap debridement with osteoplastyIn this arm, periodontal surgery consists of open flap debridement followed by osteoplasty in the furcation entrance area.
Open flap debridement without osteoplastyOpen flap debridement with osteoplastyIn this arm, periodontal surgery consists of open flap debridement only. No osteoplasty will be performed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sites with no signs of inflammation24 months after treatment

Proportion of sites without inflammation, defined as no BoP or PPD\>4mm following treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Radiographic changes24 months after treatment

To assess bone loss as measured on standardized radiographs (in mm)

Changes in patient-reported quality of life (QoL)Preoperatively compared to 12 months after treatment

To assess QoL changes related to mouth and teeth prior to therapy to after therapy by the use of "The Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP)" instrument. Each question is assessed by a 5-point scale; (1) never affected; (2) less than once a month; (3) once or twice a month; (4) once or twice a week; and (5) every or nearly every day. The higher number represents more severe impact on quality of life; e.g. worse outcome.

Each item will be dichotomised yielding the categories (A) affected; including scale categories (2)-(5), and (B) unaffected; including category (1)

Loss of clinical attachment level24 months after treatment

To assess further loss of clinical attachment Level vertically and horizontally, and deterioration of furcation grade Level (grade II to III)

Number of participants with caries lesions24 months after treatment

To assess caries lesions in furcation defects following therapy. Caries lesions are assessed clinically with an explorer as caries (Y/N)
