The most common periodontal tissue damage occurs by the action of microbial plaque. A smaller percentage of damage comes from non-microbial factors (physical and chemical irritation). Between the periodontal and the pulp exists a connection. Therefore, it is necessary to know the relationship between periodontium and endodont in order to prevent da...

... the definitive phase, we carried out a treatment plan: The frenectomy surgery from the upper frenulum was performed. Following, the patient was sent to undergo the orthodontic treatment with the application of fixed apparatusin the upper set of teeth for two months (Fig.2). During orthodontic treatment, the patient came to control the plaque at regular intervals. Patient?s orthodontist removed the fixed appliance 10 months after deployment. After removal of the fixed appliance, we reassessed the patient's condition. The X-ray image of dN? 21 was taken. The radiographies shown the resorption of the root apex, made by the pressure. The tooth was slightly pigmented. We have repeatedly treated the tooth with root treatment and with internal bleaching. At the end, a splint of glass fibers was made for the teeth ...

The term "endo-perio" lesion has been used to describe the destructive lesion resulting from inflammatory products present in both the periodontium and the pulpal tissues. Various classifications have been proposed for the respective lesion. The progress from endodontic lesion to periodontic lesion or vice versa via different pathways and use of ad...
Dens invaginatus (DI) is a dental developmental abnormality, probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. The following case report presents a case of Type III DI with apicomarginal defect and peri-radicular lesion, diagnosed with cone-beam computed tomography scan and treated with combined orthograde endodon...
About 50% of tooth loss is caused by either endodontic infection, periodontal disease or the combination of the two in the form on endo-perio lesions (EPL). Combined EPL develop due to the intimate anatomic and functional relation between endodontic and periodontal tissues. Both the pulp and periodontium share the same embryologic and anatomic orig...
Introduction. The term Endo-Perio Lesions (EPL), affecting simultaneously both pulp and periodontium, emerged decades ago to designate a specific disease condition. EPL is one of the rare and challenging clinical conditions, because tooth prognosis might severely compromise diagnosis and treatment protocol, requiring multidisciplinary evaluation, e...

Periodontal disease is inflammation of the gums and without good oral hygiene, it can progress to periodontitis. Oral hygiene might be related to a patient’s health literacy (HL), defined as ability to gain access, understand, and use information to promote and maintain good health. The aim of our study is to examine the associations of HL with indicators of periodontal disease. A cross-sectional study on 1117 adults (36.2% males; mean age = 36.4, SD = 14.2) attending dental hygiene treatment was conducted. Data on demographics, socioeconomic status, and nine domains of HL (Health Literacy Questionnaire, HLQ) were collected by questionnaire, and Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) was established by the dental hygienist. Data were analysed using t-tests and logistic regression. Respondents with periodontal disease (N = 152) had statistically significantly lower levels of HL in seven out of nine HLQ domains compared to intact patients (N = 818) (t from 3.03 to 4.75, p < 0.01). Association of higher HL in seven domains with lower chance of diagnosed periodontal disease remain significant even after adjustment for age, gender and educational attainment (adjusted ORs 0.55–0.67, p < 0.05). Our findings confirm that an individual’s lower HL is significantly associated with higher chance of periodontal disease incidence, specifically among Slovak adults attending oral hygiene clinics. HL might be a promising factor in the improvement of oral health in this population, worthy of consideration in intervention and preventive activities.
