Abstract

Endodontic periodontal combined lesion is a dilemma for the clinicians because accurate clinical diagnosis and evaluation of prognosis are often difficult to achieve. The treatment of true combined endodontic periodontal lesions require both a multidisciplinary approach with endodontic therapy and periodontal regenerative procedures. In this case report, a combined lesion due to traumatic occlusion was first treated with conventional root canal therapy and then followed by periodontal therapy. At a three monthpost operative evaluation there was reduction in pocket depth. Radiographic examination revealed evidence of regeneration of the bone.
