SUMMARYThe root canal and periodontium are in a close relation with each other and cross infection between dental pulp tissue and periodontal ligament may occur by the anatomical structures and non-physiological pathways. Endo-perio lesions are challenging for the clinicians in terms of diagnosis and prognosis. It is important to understand the etiology of the lesions to determine the timing and ordering the treatment procedures. In some cases, endodontic or periodontal treatment is sufficient alone while secondary involvement of endodontic or periodontal lesions or true combined lesions are required more complicated treatment options. There is a lack of knowledge about the treatment protocols concerning endo-perio lesions therefore this review aims to highlight the current and advanced treatment strategies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
