Many classifications were derived to classify furcation. The aim of the current study was to assess the prevalence of furcation involvement among periodontitis patients. The retrospective study was done among the outpatients of saveetha dental college and hospitals, chennai from june 2019 to march 2020. Periodontal data of adult patients aged between 18-70 years, were collected from the patient records. The data then analysed and interpreted using ibm,spss software version 20, california. Male predilection was observed in relation to furcation involvement. the prevalence of furcation involvement among patients with periodontitis was 38%. maxilla had an increased furcation involvement than the mandible.
