Five cases in which perforations of mandibular molars into the furca occurred during endodontic instrumentation of the canal are presented. This resulted in alveolar bone loss. All were relatively asymptomatic, which could present a problem in diagnosis of the periodontal defect. The prognosis is questionable. The only tooth retained was treated surgically by an apically positioned flap and opening of the furca area to make it accessible to cleansing. The best treatment is the avoidance of the perforation. This is accomplished by considering the configuration of the canals and the size of the reamer than can follow it. Overinstrumentation with an endodontic instrument that is too large in diameter should be avoided.
