Induced reattachment in periodontic-endodontic lesions by root demineralization in situ.
A new method of root preparation to enhance reattachment of gingival tissues to root dentin has been developed through extensive animal research. The improved technique may aid periodontists and endodontists in the management of deep combined lesions. This article reviews essentials of experimental animal data and presents case reports of three different clinical approaches to combined lesion closure attempts utilizing surgical and chemical root preparation.
