Background: Endo-perio lesions have been a great challenge for dentists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment approach of dental practitioners to endo-perio lesions by considering the current endo-perio classification. Methods: An online survey consisting of questions about the treatment approach to three simulated cases with endo-perio lesions by a periapical radiography and questions derived from these cases were prepared. Questions about the patient's age, presence of systemic disease, smoking, and how the single or multi-rooted tooth would affect the treatment plan were also included in the survey. The survey was sent to 1500 dentists via e-mail, WhatsApp and social media. Chi-square test was used for comparison of data. Significance was evaluated at p<0.05. Results: In total, 338 dentists participated the survey and 53% of the participants stated that they perform root canal treatment and initial periodontal treatment simultaneously, when both treatments are required. In Grade 3 case, general dentists, endodontists, and periodontists mostly stated that they would prescribe systemic antibiotics if there was a diffuse extraoral swelling (p<0.05). Moreover, in Grade 3 case, more general dentists chose the option “extraction” as the best choice than endodontists and periodontists (p<0.05). Conclusions: According to the results of this study, general dentists, endodontists, periodontists generally follow different approaches to endo-perio lesions.

Proper knowledge and confidence regarding Endo-Perio relationship plays an important role in correct clinical decisions and management of these conditions. The aim of this study is to assess dentists' knowledge and understanding, in addition, their confidence regarding Endo-Perio relationship, consequently, to investigate the prevalence of misconceptions. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted from December 2021 to March 2022, utilized voluntary anonymous questionnaire, distributed among general dentists, graduates of King Abdulaziz University, Faculty of Dentistry, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, year of 2021 (n = 151). The questionnaire had two parts, demographic and 13 closed ended scientific questions to assess knowledge and understanding with 4 points Likert scale after each question to assess confidence and misconceptions. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test at a statistical significance of P-value <0.05 were conducted to analyze the data using SPSS. Results: Total of 98 participants completed the questionnaire setting a response rate of (64.9%). Only (21.4%) had sufficient overall knowledge and understanding regarding Endo-Perio relationship with no significant association found between knowledge and gender (p = 0.8). A little more than one-third of our participants (37.83%) were overly confident; false confident, thus, had misconceptions. Conclusion:Our study revealed that the majority of our participants had deficient knowledge regarding Endo-Perio relationship. Thus, to compensate for this reported deficiency, changing teaching strategies and implementing continuing education courses are suggested. More studies assessing the interaction between knowledge and confidence in different dental topics are needed.

Due to their destructive impact on the tooth structure and the supporting periapical tissues, endodonticperiodontal lesions provide a significant challenge for the dentist in their care (i.e., bone and periodontal membrane). A thorough history is crucial to identifying the root of the problem and accurately diagnosing the patient's condition. This is a cross-sectional study conducted among 500 dentists in Riyadh using an online survey using convenient sampling. An online questionnaire was used consisting of questions related to demographic data followed by questions including knowledge, attitude, and confidence toward handling perio-endo lesions in clinics. 66% of the participants preferred referring EPL patients to specialists. 71% reported that using intra-canal medications can be useful in treating EPL. 58% revealed they did not have adequate knowledge regarding the successful management of EPL patients. The attitude of dental practitioners toward the treatment of Endo-Perio lesions is positive. But it does not correlate with their knowledge and practice.
