Lecture Synopsis

The Endo-Perio Lesion

Successful outcomes of therapeutic measures for endo-perio lesions are dependent on careful examination, proper diagnosis and treatment planning for the exact clinical situations encountered. This presentation will focus on providing a better understanding of the factors associated with the endo-perio lesion. Relevant to this discussion, results of a pilot study conducted in 1995 to detect the periodontal pathogen, Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans (previously known asActinobacillus Actinomycetemcomitans) in root canals will be presented.

Parameters Affecting the Clinical Leakage of Crowns

Endodontists deal with sensitive teeth including those after crown cementation and knowing the parameters that affect leakage and post cementation symptoms would be helpful to the endodontist in making an appropriate diagnosis and management of these teeth and be helpful in providing information to the referring dentists to reduce the propensity for such post operative symptoms.
