Materials & Methods: This study was conducted in 2 groups in Group I patients were treated with bone graft material with periosteum as a barrier membrane. In Group II patients were treated with bone graft alone. Clinical parameters Gingival Index, Plaque Index, Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level and Horizontal measurement of furcation defect were recorded at baseline and six months postoperatively. Results: Improvement in all clinical parameters were found, and change was statistically significant in both the groups.
