Endodontic Management of Endo-Perio Lesions

Abstract

An endo-perio lesion is one of the more common tooth-related problems. An association between the presence of apical and marginal periodontitis is known in the literature and has been observed in 5.7% of individuals aged 40–45 years old. The purpose of the present article is to present three case reports describing the successful retreatment of endo-perio lesions. In each of these cases, we used a biologically active bioceramic root canal sealer, GuttaFlow Bioseal, which is a bioactive root canal filling material composed of gutta percha, polydimethylsiloxane, platinum catalyzer, zirconium dioxide, and bioglass. All cases were followed up clinically and radiographically for a period of at least 11 months.

Prevalence of true combined endodontic-periodontal lesions in adult patients with and without diabetes: A cross sectional survey

“…It develops when an infected periodontal pocket that is growing apically combines an endodontic illness that is advancing coronally. (Simon et al, 1972, Shumilovich et al, 2021 [17,16] . This kind of lesion always has a significant degree of attachment loss, the prognosis is typically not good, and additional surgical procedures are frequently required.…”
