Abstract

  Endodontic-Periodontal lesions are clinical findings that presents both diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Knowing the etiology is very important in determining the proper treatment protocol and the long term success.

Aim: The purpose of this report is to present three clinical cases with endodontic-periodontal lesions treated only with endodontic treatment.

Material and Methods: The study presents three clinical cases with periodontal bifurcation lesions. Treatment included metapex placed in the root canals for 1 week, followed by canal sealing with guta-percha and cement. The patients were followed up 12 months to 3 years.

Results: According to radiographic examination we saw healing of periradicular lesion in all three cases.

Conclusion: It is necessary to know all factors that can cause periodontal bifurcation lesions to differentiate the types of endodontic-periodontal lesions regarding to its origin, defining the best way for treat.
