SP-19 How Will Endodontic -and Periodontal Lesions and Their Respective Treatments Influence Each Other?
CE Hours: 0.75
Description: Combined endodontic-periodontal lesions can arise through different mechanisms. Anatomically, these lesions may occur when pulpal tissue communicates with periodontal tissues via accessory canals or dentinal tubules. Other causes of communication include iatrogenic incidents, root perforations, vertical root fractures, or root resorptions. Treatment of primary endodontic lesions can influence the condition of periodontal tissues. However, the extent to which periodontal lesions and their treatment impact endodontic lesions remains a topic of debate. Managing these combined lesions presents challenges, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis and selecting appropriate therapy.
Learning Objectives:
- Classify endoperiodontal lesions.
- Describe the impact of endodontic lesions and treatment on periodontal tissues and healing process.
- Describe the impact of periodontal lesions and treatment on endodontic tissues and healing process.
