Abstract:

Pulpo-periodontal lesion is one of the most complicated condition to be treated as it needs more accurate diagnostic skills and precise treatment plans. The major challenge in the treatment of the pulpo-periodontal lesion is to treat the endodontic infection along with the regeneration of the lost periodontal structures associated with the lesion. The prognosis of the tooth depends upon the extension of the periodontal structure loss around the tooth. Root canal therapy and guided tissue regeneration technique with bone grafts and collagen membranes serve as a best mode of treatment for pulpo -periodontal lesions. This case report describes the salvaging of a hopeless teeth with an Endo-Perio lesion by an interdisciplinary approach.

KEY WORDS- Endo-Perio lesion; Guided Tissue Regeneration; Bone graft, Collagen Membrane.
