Abstract
The pulp and periodontium have embryonic, anatomic and functional inter-relationships. The simultaneous existence of pulpal problems and infl ammatory periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. This case report evaluates the effi cacy of decalcifi ed freeze dried bone allograft along with bioabsorbable barrier membrane in the management of furcation defect associated with an endo-perio lesion in a right mandibular fi rst molar. A 36-year-old male patient with an endo-perio lesion in the right mandibular fi rst molar was initially treated with endodontic therapy. Following the endodontic treatment, the furcation defect was treated using decalcifi ed freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA) along with guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane. At the end of 9 months, there was a gain in the clinical attachment level and reduction in probing depth. Radiographic evidence showed that there was a signifi cant bony fi ll.
