Introduction

An endodontic–periodontic lesion becomes a challenge for a clinician to diagnose and manage. when it comes to combined endodontic–periodontic lesion the most common treatment alternative is extraction and replacement with prosthesis. With numerous complications associated with prosthesis as well as patient’s desire to retain natural teeth make it most important task for clinicians to conserve such teeth.

Method

Four patients were included in this case series. Cases were treated with endodontic and periodontic treatment sequentially as per the guidelines.

Results

After a follow–up period ranging from 6 months to 2 years, it was observed that all teeth remain asymptomatic and in normal function.

 

Conclusions

 

This case series shows that it is possible to change the prognosis of teeth affected by combined endodontic–periodontal lesions, provides that correct diagnosis and proper oral hygiene maintenance is implemented.
