Q

What are the signs and symptoms of a periodontal infection?

A

Periodontal disease demonstrates a wider PDL coronally, radiographic evidence of crestal bone loss, multiple wide encompassing pockets, often unrestored teeth, pain tends to be moderate and dull, swelling of attached gingivae, and pulp testing normal

Q

What are the signs and symptoms of an endodontic infection?

A

Apical disease demonstrates a wider PDL apically, no crestal bone involvement, single and narrow pockets, heavily restored teeth, pain tends to be severe, swelling of apical zone, and pulp test altered/-ve

Q

What microorganisms are in endo-perio lesions?

A

Mostly periodontal pathogens from “red” and “orange” complexes: P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, Parvimonas micra, Fusobacterium, Prevotella and Treponema

17
Q

What are the risk factors of endo-perio lesions?

A

Severe periodontitis, active carious lesions, grooves, furcation involvement, trauma, iatrogenic events, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns?

18
Q

What are endo-perio lesions with root damage?

A

Root fracture, root canal/chamber perforation, and external resorption

19
Q

What are endo-perio lesions without root damage?

A

Periodontitis/not periodontitis and grade 1, 2, or 3

20
Q

What is a grade 1 endo-perio lesion?

A

Narrow deep periodontal pocket in 1 tooth surface

21
Q

What is a grade 2 peri-endo lesion?

A

Wide deep periodontal pocket in one tooth surface

22
Q

What is a grade 3 perio-endo lesion?

A

Deep periodontal pocket in more than one surface

23
Q

How is an endo-perio lesion diagnosed?

A

History (trauma/RCT/post), evaluate for root integrity (clinical and radiographic), assess tooth vitality, and full mouth periodontal assessment (narrow/wide pockets-single/multiple surface)

24
Q

How do we evaluate for root integrity?

A

Perforations, fractures, cracking, and external root resorption

25
Q

What if there is a +ve vitality response?

A

Face a more difficult decision

26
Q

What will the prognosis of an endo-perio lesion depend on?

A

Presence of root damage, amount of attachment loss prior to treatment, patient’s healing responses, effectiveness of endodontic treatment, effectiveness of oral hygiene procedures, patient compliance with maintenance, and longevity of any restorations

27
Q

What is the success rate of “Perio” endo-periodontal lesions without a concomitant regenerative procedure?

A

27-37%

28
Q

What is the success rate of “Perio” endo-periodontal lesions with conventional orthograde root canal therapy?

A

93%

29
Q

What could a radiographic lesion be mistaken as being a sign of if tooth is not tested with pulp sensibility tests?

A

Chronic apical periodontitis

30
Q

What can periodontal pocketing mimick?

A

Periapical radiolucency

31
Q

What are teeth with endo-perio lesions excluded from?

A

Main periodontal diagnosis

32
Q

What is the treatment sequence for an endodontic lesion?

A

Endodontic treatment only

33
Q

What is the treatment sequence for a periodontic lesion?

A

Periodontal therapy only

34
Q

What is the treatment sequence for an endodontic lesion with secondary periodontic involvement?

A

Endodontic therapy first, follow-up in 1-3 months then periodontal therapy

35
Q

What is the treatment sequence for a periodontal lesion with secondary endodontic involvement?

A

Endodontic therapy first, follow-up in 1-3 months then periodontal therapy

36
Q

What is the treatment sequence for a true combined lesion?

A

Both therapies required, often endodontic canal medication followed by periodontal therapy, then reassessment prior to endodontic obturation

37
Q

What is the guidance for an endo-perio lesion?

A

Identify potential endo/perio lesion (deep pocket/radiographic defects), determine root damage, determine periodontitis diagnosis/narrow/deep multiple pockets, investigate vitality of tooth, and review

38
Q

What should you do if the tooth is vital?

A

Preserve vitality and do periodontal treatment

39
Q

What should you do if endo-perio lesion is endodontic involved?

A

Do RCT and review

40
Q

What are concurrent endodontic and periodontal diseases without communication?

A

A tooth that has apical periodontitis PLUS periodontal pocketing but they do not communicate with each other

41
Q

What is seen clinically when probing periodontal pocket of concurrent endodontic and periodontal diseases without communication?

A

It does not extend as far as periapical lesion

42
Q

What is seen radiographically in concurrent endodontic and periodontal diseases without communication?

A

Periodontal pocket does not extend as far as apical foramen of root canal, and bone can be seen between, and separating, periapical radiolucency and base of periodontal pocket
