Autologous Concentrate Growth Factor for the Treatment of Endo-Perio Lesion - A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The success of a combined periodontal and endodontic lesion depends on the elimination of both these disease processes. In the case of a combined endo-perio lesion, endodontic therapy results in healing of the endodontic component of involvement, while the prognosis of teeth would finally depend on the healing of the periodontal structure. TREATMENT This case report evaluates the efficacy of autologous fibrin glue and bone graft, that is, sticky bone in the management of bone defects associated with endo-perio lesion. The endo-perio lesion is first treated endodontically, followed by periodontal therapy. Conclusion: The patient was kept on follow-up for 9 months, and satisfactory results in terms of bone fill and reduction in pocket depth were obtained. TAKEAWAY LESSONS The sticky bone enhances regeneration in treatment of endo-perio lesions.
