Abstract: An endodontic periodontal lesion is a condition in which a tooth infection extends from the inside of the tooth (the dental pulp) into the periodontal tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. This occurs when an infection in the tooth pulp is left untreated and spreads to the tissues around the root, causing inflammation and damage. These injuries often result from untreated tooth decay, dental trauma, or bacterial infections that invade the inside of the tooth. Symptoms may include pain, sensitivity to heat and cold, swelling in the affected area, bad breath and, in advanced cases, the formation of a tooth abscess. Treatment for an endodontic periodontal lesion usually involves endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, to remove the infected pulp and clean the inside of the tooth. In more advanced cases, additional periodontal treatment may be needed to treat infection in the tissues around the tooth root
