Abstract
Endo-perio lesions has one of the, most common challenges associated with dental field. Endodontic-periodontal combined lesions are a clinical dilemma because complicated diagnosis and treatment planning. (Mandel et al,. 1993) Simiring and Goldberg described the relationship between pulpal and periodontal disease in 1964. The main cause for pulpal and periodontal disease is bacterial. Through cross-infection between the root canal and periodontal tissue may be occurs by several pathways as apical foramen, lateral and accessoring canals, dentinal tubules, palatogrooves, iatrogenic root canal perforation and root fracture horizontally and/or vertically, ( Zehnders et al. 2002).
Regarding the failure or success of treatment for perio-endo lesions are depending to several factors as pulp vitality, type and extent of the periodontal defects.
The aim of the present study is to diagnosis and to manage the endo-perio lesions.
