Article Abstract
Periodontal-endodontic lesions pose a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the dental practitioner. A careful diagnostic examination consisting of a thorough patient and dental history, comprehensive clinical examination, and use of appropriate dental radiographs is necessary to arrive at a proper diagnosis of the periodontal-endodontic lesion. Despite these measures, it is not always possible to make an accurate diagnosis, which is imperative to provide the proper therapy in the correct treatment sequence. In some instances, endodontic or periodontal therapy alone may suffice; however, in other instances, a combination of endodontic and periodontal therapy may be required to successfully treat the case. In this article, classifications of periodontal-endodontic lesions are discussed, including the appropriate treatment and correct treatment sequence for each classification. Prognosis of periodontal-endodontic lesions depends on the diagnosis, treatment, and chronicity of the lesion, as well as the duration of periodontal involvement. A clinical case is presented in which a periodontal endodontic lesion has been successfully treated with a combination of conventional endodontic therapy and regenerative periodontal surgery.

Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effect of age and gender on the alveolar bone destruction pattern with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the posterior region of the maxilla.
Materials And Methods: The study group included CBCT image records of 361 consecutive patients (180 males and 181 females) aged 20 years and older. Alveolar crest morphology in the maxillary right and left first and second molar teeth on retrospective images was classified as a horizontal or vertical defect (one-walled, two-walled, three-walled, and combined bone defect) on four surfaces (mesial, distal, buccal, and palatinal).

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and inflammatory responses of treating periodontal-endodontic combined lesions (PECLs) with root canal therapy (RCT) alone versus RCT combined with periodontal non-surgical treatment (PNST).
Methods: A total of 103 patients with PECLs admitted between January 2019 and January 2020 to Shenzhen Baoan Women's and Children's Hospital were divided into control (RCT alone, 50 cases) and combined (RCT + PNST, 53 cases) groups. Comparative analyses included efficacy assessment, probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI), plaque index (PLI), gingival index (GI), serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), pain severity during RCT, incidence of adverse reactions, post-treatment tooth conditions, and recurrence rates at 6 and 12 months.

Background: Endodontic microbial flora plays a pivotal role in the development and persistence of periodontal endodontic lesions (PELs). Understanding the composition and prevalence of microbial species in PELs is essential for effective treatment strategies.
Materials And Methods: Microbial samples were collected from 50 teeth diagnosed with PELs.

Objective: Intentional replantation (IR) is considered as a viable treatment option to preserve the teeth with apical periodontitis. This study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of IR in teeth with or without periodontal involvement, and to investigate the influence of related factors.
Methods: A total of 157 teeth with a documented history of IR between September 2012 and November 2022 and a follow-up duration of more than 1 year were included.
