Endo-Perio Flashcards

1
Q

what is the clinical presentation for endo/perio lesions

A
  • clinical scenarios involving both pulp and periodontium
  • acute
  • chronic
  • if related to recent traumatic or iatrogenic even, may manifest as pain with an abscess

Q

what are the signs and symptoms of endo perio

A
  • deep periodontal pockets (approaching apex)

Q

what is the etiology of endo perio

A
  • microbial contamination of the pulp and periodontium
  • related to periodontal and/or endodontic infection

Q

what is associated with trauma/iatrogenic factors

A
  • root damage
  • external root resorption due to trauma
  • necrotic pulp from trauma then draining through periodontium

Q

what can root damage present as

A
  • perforation of root, pulp chamber or furcation during preparation for root canal or post
  • root fracture or crack - iatrogenic or trauma

Q

what is the bacterial profile for endo perio lesions

A
  • generally there is not a specific microbial profile for the EPL
  • no major difference between lesion of endodontic origin vs periodontal origin

Q

what are the risk factors for endo perio that affect prognosis

A
  • advanced periodontal disease
  • trauma and iatrogenic events
  • anatomic factors: root grooves, furcation involvement, PFM crowns and active carious lesions

Q

what are the prognoses for endo perio

A
  • hopeless- usually due to trauma/iatrogenic factors and leads to extraction
  • poor
  • favorable

Q

how do you diagnose endo perio lesions

A
  • determine history of root damage: trauma, root canal treatment, post preparation
  • obtain radiographs and clinical examination: probing depths, perforation, fracture, root resorption
  • determine root anatomy and integrity

Q

what are the grades for endo perio lesions without root damage in perio patients

A
  • grade 1: narrow, deep perio pocket on only 1 surface
  • grade 2: wide, deep periodontal pocket on only 1 surface
  • grade 3: deep periodontal pockets on more than 1 tooth surface

Q

what are the grades for classification of endo perio lesions without root damage in non periodontitis patients

A
  • grade 1: narrow, deep periodontal pockets on only 1 surface
  • grade 2: wide, deep periodontal pocket on only 1 surface
  • grade 3: deep periodontal pockets on more than 1 tooth surface
17
Q

what are the physical routes of communication

A
  • apical foramen
  • lateral (accessory canals)
  • dentinal tubules
  • iatrogenic
18
Q

where are lateral canals found and the frequency

A
  • 28% in molar furcations
19
Q

osseous lesions of endodontic origin can be expected to heal:

A

completely

20
Q

osseous lesions of periodontic origin heal:

A

usually not reversible and depend on defect morphology for regeneration

21
Q

the greater the perio involvement the ____ the prognosis

A

worse

22
Q

what is the DDX for endo perio lesions

A
  • incomplete tooth fracture
  • developmental grooves
  • cervical enamel projections
  • periodontal abscess
23
Q

describe an incomplete tooth fracture

A
  • radiographic isolated vertical bone loss
  • teardrop radiolucency
  • can mimic both perio and endo symptoms
  • may be seen as an incomplete crown, root, or tooth fracture
24
Q

describe developmental grooves as a DDX

A
  • gingival palatal groove incidence of 4-8% on maxillary incisors
  • localized osseous lesion
  • peri pulpal line on radiograph
25
Q

describe cervical enamel projections as a DDX

A
  • various extent of CEPs from grade I to grade III which extend to furcation
  • incidence from 17-32% - much higher incidence in asian populations
26
Q

describe periodontal abscess as a DDX

A
  • symptoms consistent with periodontal abscess
  • radiographic is indicative of periodontal disease
  • acute abscess has better prognosis than chronic abscess
27
Q

what are the tx considerations with endo perio

A
  • perio evaluation is needed with endodontic evaluation to determine prognosis and treatment options
  • endo usually is done first
  • perio therapy follows endo
  • root resection or hemisection may be a viable alternative
