Abstract
Background Endoperiodontal lesion (EPL) is defined as a pathological communication between pulpal and periodontal tissues. Currently, accurate diagnosis and treatment of this pathology are challenging. This study aims to identify the different endoperiodontal therapies to propose a clinical protocol to simplify and unify the criteria for EPL treatment. Material and Methods Observational cross-sectional study through an electronic survey. This study matches STROBE guidelines. The anonymous questionnaire contained open-ended and close-ended questions and was distributed to dentistry professors of the UPV/EHU and different professionals from Spanish associations and scientific societies. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results A total of 128 responses were obtained, of which 120 were active professionals or had not been so for less than 5 years. The majority of professionals were women (65.6%) and from the Basque Country (63.9%). A total of 86.6% reported having complementary studies to a degree or a bachelor's degree. The treatments performed by these professionals were similar to those reported in the literature, which started with root canal treatment when there was an endodontic origin (91.5%), and with basic periodontal treatment when periodontal (51.3%). Conclusions Considering the current scientific evidence and the clinical practice of professionals in the treatment of EPL, we designed a clinical protocol. This protocol needs validation in larger populations and with longer follow-ups. Key words:Clinical protocol, Dental pulp diseases, Periodontal diseases, Review, Surveys and questionnaires.

Abstract
Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis in mature permanent teeth present challenges in their management. Traditional treatment approaches, such as root canal therapy or tooth extraction, may compromise tooth structure and oral function. This review article explores the combination of non-surgical endodontic treatment and vital pulp therapy as an alternative approach for these conditions. The purpose is to examine this combined approach's effectiveness, benefits, challenges, and limitations. The objectives include reviewing the literature, evaluating clinical outcomes, discussing potential benefits, and providing recommendations for clinical practice. The combination approach aims to preserve tooth structure, promote healing, and reduce postoperative complications. The article discusses the rationale for combining the two techniques, presents evidence supporting their efficacy, and outlines the techniques and protocols involved. Clinical outcomes, case studies, potential challenges, and comparative analysis with traditional approaches are also explored. Future directions and research recommendations highlight areas for further investigation, innovations, and the development of clinical guidelines. In conclusion, the combination of non-surgical endodontic treatment and vital pulp therapy offers a valuable strategy for managing mature permanent mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. Further research and advancements are needed to refine the treatment protocol and expand the evidence base, and clinicians should stay updated to provide optimal care and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
The pulp and periodontium have obvious relationships that have been described in many studies. Pulp infections may affect periodontal tissues and vice versa. Teeth with endo-perio lesions have a worse prognosis than isolated endodontic or periodontal lesions. Elimination of endodontic and periodontal infections is essential for successful treatment, so co-operation between endodontists and periodontists is necessary. In this clinical case, a 44-year-old male presented with primary periodontal disease with secondary endodontic involvement in his lower right canine because of aggressive periodontitis. There was 10 mm of clinical attachment loss and 8 mm periodontal pocket mesial from the tooth and bone radiolucency periapical and lateral from the root. Periodontal therapy was followed by endodontic treatment. Periodontal therapy included root scaling and planing, treatment of the periodontal pocket with ozone gas, systemic antibiotics, oral hygiene instructions, and chlorhexidine rinsing. Endodontic therapy included root canal instrumentation with rotary endodontic files, irrigation, root canal treatment with ozone gas, and obturation with lateral compaction. Radiographs at a 6-month follow-up appointment showed complete healing of the periapical lesion and alveolar bone lateral to the root. Using an interdisciplinary approach to treat endo-perio lesions provides favorable clinical outcomes. Ozone therapy is beneficial for the successful treatment of endo-perio lesions with narrow periodontal pockets in patients with aggressive periodontitis and poor prognosis.

Effect of endodontic treatment on periodontal healing of grade 3 endo-periodontal lesions without root damage in periodontally compromised patients-a retrospective pilot study. Clin Oral Investig 2020; 25:2373-2380. [PMID: 32948927 PMCID: PMC7966136 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-020-03560-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is little evidence about the effect of different treatment protocols for grade 3 endo-periodontal lesions without root damage in patients with periodontitis according to the new classification of periodontal disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of endodontic treatment on the achievement of periodontal healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Teeth with the initial diagnosis endo-periodontal lesion without root damage grade 3, treated with a standardized endodontic treatment protocol, were included in this study. A retrospective analysis was performed to assess the impact on periodontal healing by evaluating probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment gain (CAL), and periapical index score (PAI). RESULTS Nineteen teeth and 13 patients were included. A mean reduction of 3.19 ± 3.41 mm in PPD was recorded. The mean CAL gain was 2.33± 3.75 mm. Five teeth (45.4%) showed an improvement of PAI and were classified as treatment success. CONCLUSIONS The results failed to show a highly predictable treatment outcome for endo-periodontal lesion grade 3 without root damage in patients with periodontitis. However, endodontic therapy alone resulted in treatment success for some of the teeth, which would otherwise have had a poor prognosis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Endo-periodontal lesions can often be challenging for dentists in daily clinical practice. To date, there is not much evidence for practitioners to rely on. Therefore, this study aims to strengthen the evidence for the management and treatment of endo-periodontal lesions. Although the outcome is not highly predictable yet, teeth with the initial diagnosis endo-periodontal lesion without root damage grade 3 can benefit from an endodontic treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the time lapse between the endodontic and periodontal treatments of the combined periodontal-endodontic lesion to guide the clinical treatment. METHODS A systemic literature search was performed in articles published from 1980 to March 2017 using the electronic databases, including PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, and Wanfang Databases. RESULTS After screening, two randomized controlled trials, two prospective case series studies, and eight case reports were ultimately included. All clinical studies and case reports were treated with root canal therapy and periodontal nonsurgical or periodontal surgical treatment, with root canal therapy as the initial treatment step. Changes in the periodontal probing depth and attachment loss were reported in all clinical studies and case reports. CONCLUSIONS An observational period between the endodontic and periodontal nonsurgical treatments may not be required. However, given that the quality of several included studies was limited, and the number of randomized controlled trials was small, a large number of randomized controlled trials are needed to verify this result.
