Abstract
Endodontic –periodontal lesions present challenges to the clinician as far as diagnosis andprognosis of the involved teeth are concerned. Etiologic factors such as bacteria, fungi,and viruses as well as various contributing factors such as trauma, root resorptions,perforations, and dental malformations play an important role in the development andprogression of such lesions. T he relationship between the pulp and periodontium has been extensively studied. The pathways for the spread of bacteria between pulpal and periodontal tissues have been discussed with controversy. This case report presents a successful treatment of a 43 ye ar old systemically healthy male suffering with endoperio lesions of upper right first and second molar teeth .
