| Summary: | The interrelationship between periodontium and pulp makes the treatment of combined endo-periodontal lesions (EPL) more challenging. It involves successful elimination of both periodontal and endodontic lesion. The current case report represents the efficacy of regenerative potential of enamel matrix derivates (Emdogain®) in endo-periodontal lesion after successful endodontic treatment. A 39-year-old woman presented with EPL on a left first mandibular molar. After the initial 3 months of healing, the clinical examination showed that the furcation involvement still prevailed. A decision was made to use a regenerative procedure using Emdogain®. Fourteen months after the procedure, full periodontal regeneration can be seen on the X-ray. The results demonstrated the synergetic effect of the endodontic and periodontal therapy that changed the prognosis for the tooth. |
