Endo-perio lesions-the problem and the solutions

Abstract

Periodontium is anatomically interrelated with the pulp through different pathways like dentinal tubules, lateral and accessory canals and apical foramen. The simultaneous existence of pulpal problems and periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. When examining and treating the combined or individual lesion in endodontics and periodontics, the clinician must bear in mind that successful treatment depends on a correct diagnosis. This case series gives an insight into the various diagnostic modalities and treatment procedures that can be applied for the resolution of the endo-perio lesions.
