Effect of immediate periodontal surgical treatment on periodontal healing in combined endodontic-periodontal lesions with communication-A randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Management of combined endodontic-periodontal lesions needs more clinical investigations. The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the effect oftime interval between the non-surgical endodontic treatment (ET) and open flap debridement (OFD) on periodontal healing in combined endodontic periodontal lesions with apical communication.

Methods

Forty patients were randomly allocated to two treatment protocols. Group 1(immediate periodontal surgery): OFD was performed at 21 days of initiation of ET and SRP, and Group 2(delayed periodontal surgery): OFD was performed after 3 months of initiation of ET and SRP. The primary parameters included probing pocket depth (PPD), relative attachment level (RAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP
