Diagnosis of an advanced endodontic/periodontic lesion: report of a case.
Diagnosis of endodontic/periodontic lesions is often a challenge for clinicians. Treatment will not be successful without correct diagnosis. This article presents an advanced case of an endodontic/periodontic lesion in a patient who was referred to a periodontist. After careful examination of the patient, as well as consultation with an endodontist, an endodontic diagnosis was made and the patient treated accordingly. Success was attained without periodontal intervention.
