    KNOWLEDGE STAGE

    INTRODUCTION

    Between periodontal and endodontal space are closely interdependences, if one is

    affected can determine the response from the other. This interrelation is given that the

    tooth and periodontium is a functional unit.

    Differential diagnosis of endodontic lesion (endodontic lesion is the term used to

    describe an inflammatory process in periodontal tissue due to presence of toxic agents in

    the tooth channel during infections) and periodontal lesions (periodontal lesion is the term

    used for indicate an inflammatory process in periodontal tissue resulting from the

    accumulation of dental plaque on surface) often can be difficult, because endodontal

    lesions often have symptoms of apical periodontitis, while periodontal disease symptoms

    often are present in the marginal periodontium.

    CHAPTER I

    ENDO-PERIODONTAL MORPHOPHYSIOLOGY

    Between periodontal and endodontal space are closely interdependences, if one

    is affected can determine the response from the other. This interrelation is done so, that

    the tooth and periodontium is a functional unit.

    The proper functioning depends on the status health of a tooth periodontium.

    Disease status in this area may be the result of:

    periodontal tissue illness expansion in pulp disease, apical progression to gum inflammation that can affect cement, ligament and

    alveolar bone.

    CHAPTER II

    ETIOLOGY OF ENDO-PERIODONTAL DIZORDERS

    MICROBIAL ETIOLOGY OF ENDODONTIC DISEASES

    From the demonstration presence of bacterial forms in necrotic pulp tissue,

    around 100 years ago, the effect of oral flora in the pathogenesis of pulp and periapicale

    indigenous was obviously increased.

    Is no less true that for many years, was missing direct relationship scientific

    documentation on the cause - effect, mainly due to the ability of appropriate isolation and

    identification of all bacteria involved.

  • 5

    Endodontic microbiology recent surveys showed the role of Gram-negative

    anaerobic and have demonstrated a link between symptomatic cases and certain types of

    bacteria. These findings, coupled with the demonstration that the "invaders" unusual and

    undiscovered enter in root system, strengthened the relationship between preclinical and

    clinical disciplines.

    CHAPTER III

    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ENDO-PERIODONTAL SYNDROME

    As with other infections, in endo-periodontal syndrome, interactions between host

    and bacteria determine the nature and extent of disease. Pathogenic microorganisms can

    influence the infectious process progression by producing toxics that directly invade host

    tissues and stimulate its response.

    PERSONAL PART

    CHAPTER IV

    CLINICAL BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN MANAGEMENT FOR ENDO-PERIODONTAL

    SYNDROME

    INTRODUCTION - THEME MOTIVATIONS

    Symptoms of inflammation common characteristics in periodontal diseases, which

    are manifested by the presence of deep periodontal pockets with or without swelling and

    suppuration at gingival marginal, increase mobility and dental angular defects bone, also

    can be symptoms of a disease from the root channels system.

    Following the concerns of both the current practice in the preparation and doctorate,

    Ive proposed: o Data collection of documentary material to integrate data from the literature

    on endo-periodontal relations and their treatment, conservative or surgical

    o Endodontic and periodontal pathology study in patients trial, highlighting the complex program for evaluation and treatment of patients with severe

    endo-periodontal syndrome including indications for choosing conservative

    or surgical treatment

    o Realisation of clinical and laboratory studies on a personal data concerning status health and endodontic / periodontal damage inpatients who referred

    for dental treatment to my private dental office staff and in the

    Periodontology Clinic - UMF Iasi.

    OBJECTIVES

    To achieve these goals, were named the following objectives:

    o Developing a comprehensive assessment program that includes: o diagnosis correlated with evolutionary stage, o general and particular objectives of each clinical case,

  • 6

    o case study database for processing statistical data, o basic pathogenic factors determination,

    o Indication of clinical features, laboratory investigations, functional explorations and biological tests for the diagnosis and differential

    diagnosis of certainty.

    Database selection, examination and evaluation of cases we've realised in my

    dental office at Tulcea and Periodontology Clinic at Faculty of Dental Medicine, Iai.

    RESEARCH DIRECTIONS

    The study was focused on the following:

    o Evaluation of endodontic-periodontal status in determining therapeutic

    options, surgical vs. conservative treatment.

    o Evaluation of clinical indicators of periodontal disease (i.e., plaque index,

    gingival inflammation indices - indices of bleeding, attachment loss, alveolar bone

    lysis).

    O Clinical and laboratory studies for identification of microbial flora isolated

    from root channels and periodontal pockets.

    O Assessment of iatrogenic potential of scaling / surfacing on pulp.

    o Observation of clinical and microbiological effects of scaling / surfacing and

    in conjunction with subgingival application of chlorhexidine gel in the treatment

    of periodontal pockets, within the concept of total disinfection of the oral cavity.

    o Evaluation of clinical, radiological and statistics for analysis and prognostic

    assessment in periodontal surgery indication.

    For assessing such various aspects of endo-periodontal syndrome, we approached

    the multidimensional human cases included in our research using clinical

    investigations, laboratory, statistics, microbiological.

    DATABASE CREATION AND STATISTICAL METHODS IN EVALUATION

    For performing this study I was beneficiary case trials from:

    o Odontology- Periodontology Clinic, Faculty of Dental Medicine, UMF Iai in 2004-2007

    o Private Dental Medicine Office - Tulcea I ve formed a group study of 151 patients who had periodontal symptoms,

    manifested by changes in shape, colour or texture of the gums, swelling, spontaneous

    bleeding or easily induced, pain and tenderness, or itching gingival gum, tooth mobility,

    pockets with different depths , hyperplasias varying degrees. STATISTICS METHOD

    Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and statistical programs

    NCSS / PASS, with applications in medical statistics.

    Clinical cases

    Next images are some of the most representative clinical cases included in this

    study. Photographs are representing clinical modifications of patients and them

    DISCUSSIONS

    Diagnosis and control of endo-periodontal syndrome is based on clinical

    parameters in a large extent. Clinical diagnosis affects directly decisions to initiate

    treatment, to select methods and sketch the topography for treatment application.

    CHAPTER V

    EVALUATION OF BACTERIAL PATTERN AND OF MICROBIAL PATHOGENICITY LEVEL IN ENDO-

    PERIODONTAL SYNDROME

    STUDY PURPOSE

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the composition of microbial flora in

    infected channels and periodontal pockets in teeth with endo-periodontal syndrome, and

    to determine associations frequency of bacteria found.

  • 8

    MATERIAL AND METHOD

    Content of 25 roots channel and 20 periodontal sites, with pockets 3-5 mm, from

    20 patients, with clinical and radiographic diagnosis of endo-periodontal syndrome was

    assessed by microbial analysis.

    Identification of bacterial species was isolated by:

    The appearance of growing colonies (colony morphology) pigment genesis, size, and shape.

    Morpho-tinctory appearance of isolated colonies

    RESULTS

    A. DETERMINATION OF ENDODONTIC FLORA

    The 25 samples contained microbial endodontic microorganisms cultivated. The

    average number of CFU ml-1

    was 8x104 per sample. Number of species in the channel

    varies between 4 and 7 (average 5.1).

    DISCUSSIONS

    Bacterial invasion in necrotic pulp, often lead to periapicale inflammation.

    The usual invasion of bacteria in the necrotic pulp is through the cavities, but from

    the large number of species present on the surface of the tooth and gingival sulcus, a

    small part will be developed in the environment provided by endodontic space. These

    species, although they lack of pathogeneicity when are stationed in the oral cavity, in

    infected channels plays an important role in inflammation and necrosis production.

    CHAPTER VI

    ANATOMOPATHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT IN ENDO-PARODONTAL SYNDROME

    STUDY PURPOSE

    In order to identify morphological aspects of various forms of periapicale

    pathology in the endo-periodontal syndrome and their correlation with clinical

    presentation, biopsies were performed in cases of periapicale granuloma, periapicale cysts

    and chronic periapicale abscesses we studied.

    MATERIAL AND METHOD

    In all cases studied we selected a number of cases, based on clinical examination,

    in conjunction with the X-ray, and were diagnosed with:

    Periapicale granuloma 6 cases 7 cases periapicale cyst Chronic periapicale abscess 3 cases Biopsies were performed in cases of periapicale granuloma, periapicale cysts and

    periapicale osteitis we studied.

    They used conventional morphological methods (haematoxylin-eosin staining, HE),

    Van Giemson staining and Immunohistochemistry.

    RESULTS

    PERIAPICALE GRANULOMA

    Morphological aspects of periapicale granuloma cases evaluate were within the

    patterns described in the literature. I found a granulomatos inflammatory process, with

    mixed cellular, lymphocyte predominant, but there are also plasma cells and macrophages

    Fig VI.1. Periapicale granuloma Col. HE, GB. x20, granulomatos

    inflammatory process, with mixed cellular.

    PERIAPICALE CYST S EPITHELIUM-COMPONENT

    A true epithelial cyst does not communicate with the system. Canalled cyst is

    recognized by epithelial tissue that separates formation. Treatment for this injury is only

  • 14

    surgical and endodontic treatment has no effect because the cyst does not communicate

    with the root channel.

    This type of cyst formation occurs in a long period of time, about six months after

    the channel becomes necrotic.

    In preparations made by the main cysts, lesions were polymorphic. Cyst wall was

    stratified squamous epithelium wallpaper, partly thickened, and partly eroded.

    Fig. VI.2. Periapicale cyst col. HE, stratified squamous epithelium obx20se notes and

    a polymorphous inflammatory infiltrate subjacent.

    Also in this mass and collagen appeared Malassez epithelial rests.

    RUSHTON HYALINE CORPUS

    The sections examined were found included in epithelial thickness as subepiteliale

    a series of round or oval structures consisting of damaged red blood cells (body Rushton

    in formation) also found areas of necrosis and hemorrhagic fibrinous infiltration.

  • 15

    Fig VI.4. Periapicale Cyst col. HE, obx40 corpora Rushton

    Rushton hyaline corpora presence is a particular feature of odontogen cysts. Their

    frequency ranges from 2.6% to 9.5% occurring in the epithelial or in the lumen of

    morphological cysts. They have variety of forms.

    Nature of this body is not well known, suggested that keratin are likely a product

    of odontogen epithelium secret or degeneration of blood cells. Some authors have

    suggested that there are materials left over after surgical interventions. Is unclear why

    these children are mostly in the epithelium.

    CHOLESTEROL

    The presence of cholesterol crystals in apical periodontitis is a common

    histopathological feature.

    H.E, ob x40,

    DISCUSSIONS

    Morphological aspects of the cases studied were within the patterns described in

    the literature.

    In periapicale granuloma there was a mixed cellularity with predominance of

    lymphocytes. Immunohistochemistry, they were mainly B lymphocytes T lymphocytes

    modest participation.

    In periapicale cysts, wall coverings epithelium stratified squamous type was in

    some bold, partly eroded, with sponginess and exocytose.

  • 16

    We identified Rushton corps, and Malassez epithelial rests in the formation.

    Infiltrate periapicale cell cysts were polymorphic, with predominance of lymphocytes,

    immunohistochemistry identified as belonging to type B.

    Fibrosis process was constantly on the periphery of lesions, either in lesion.

    Investigation confirms our immune presumption granuloma and cysts from

    periapicale.

    Chronic periapicale abscess cases were classified as chronic fibrosis osteitis.

    Before interpreting the results of morphological study performed by us, we shall

    present interrelations periapicale infection, to see which is where in this three entities

    studied.

    CHAPTERVII

    STUDY ON AGGRESSIVE POTENTIAL OF SCALING / SURFACING TECHNIQUES IN ENDO-PERIODONTAL

    SYNDROME

    WORK PURPOSE

    Because it is difficult to clinically appreciate which is the value of a smooth root

    surfaced and the level at which an involuntary surfaces can turn a dentin exposure, our

    study aims to assess ex-vivo the effects of macro- and microscopic surfacing on

    remaining tooth structure. The research was both ex-vivo to assess the surface appearance

    and clinically, for assessing the effects due to surfacing

    MATERIAL AND METHOD

    In the study we used freshly extracted teeth 78, due to the evolution of different

    forms of periodontal disease. Teeth were divided into 2 groups, and we proceed to scaling

    and root surfaces as follows:

    group A manual scaling, using Gracey curettes group B - ultrasonic scaling Sanitary safety, scaling was applied at one of the root surface, simulating the

    clinical algorithm of scaling / surfacing until we obtained a smooth surface.

    When labour was considered complete, teeth were placed in new dye bath.

    Teeth were examined both macro and microscopically in terms of layout and intensity of

    colour and surface appearance resulting from surfacing.

    RESULTS

    MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION

    Following examination of stained surfaces we observed the dye absence, mainly in

    surfaced area, due to completely remove of all the fibbers attached to the cement surface,

    which entitles us to believe that a "classic" surfacing remove not only infiltrated cement,

  • 17

    but also is able to destroy and the elements necessary for re-attachment, cement and

    fibber.

    Fig. VII.1- Analysis of macroscopic samples evaluated

    Areas examination additional revealed, all root cement removal with dentin

    exposure in some areas, mostly prominent at 9 roots of the 78 teeth. We should mention

    that, in terms of macroscopic. all surfaces surfaced seemed smooth, shiny.

    MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION

    Lot A -manual scaling / surfacing: we observed striated appearance at the cement

    surface, after Gracey curette and with, in some cases, exposure of dentinar surface.

    Lot B -ultrasonic surface is smooth without dentin exposure, but have fine grooves

    and defects due to the ultrasonic instrument tip action.

    DISCUSSIONS

    "Classic" surfacing has a number of limitations that can be easily demonstrated.

    Frequent repetition of the manoeuvres is especially detrimental in the long term

    effects it produces.

    Any practitioner must preoperative assess the need for manoeuvres, and take that:

    however as motivation and awareness of patient stage is hard, it is preferable in all

    respects, to avoid an unexpected intervention, often iatrogenic, as it is surfacing.

    Cement may be subject to alterations in structure and composition of their

    compounds both organic and inorganic, as a result of pathological changes in the

    immediate vicinity.

    Prolonged presence of inflammatory process on gingival connective tissue has as

    results loss of collagen fibbers and destruction of gum.

    Although the enzymatic destruction of collagen fibbers is evident in gingival

    tissue, soft tissue extension of this process in much of the root with the loss of cross

    collagen and dissolution of crystals of minerals was also described. However, this process

    is rather limited to the surface with a diffuse transmission to unaffected underlying tissue.

    APPLICATION OF CHLORHEXIDINE GEL IN TREATMENT OF ENDO- PERIODONTAL SYNDROME

    STUDY PURPOSE

    The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of subgingival chlorhexidine gel

    Periokine (Laboratorios Kin SA) in periodontal pockets as an adjunct to MS/ S.

  • 19

    MATERIAL AND METHOD

    In the present study were included 41 patients (22 women and 21 men with mean

    age 45.9 (23-69 years) enrolled in the study group who received endodontic and / or

    conservatory periodontal treatment.

    They had no relevant medical history and have not received periodontal therapy or

    antibiotic treatment at least six months before the study.

    The following measurements were recorded at 60 and 90 days:

    o plaque index (PI) Silness and Le o gingival index (GI), Le and Silness, o gingival recession (GR), o clinical attachment level (NAC), o probing depth of pockets (AP), o bleeding on probing (SS) as the absence or presence of bleeding by 30 seconds

    after probing.

    The type of treatment of each site was chosen by simply scaling distribution

    following:

    o lot 1- SM/S (11 patients); o lot 2 SM/S + irrigation with saline(13 patients); o lot 3 SM/S + irrigation chlorhexidine gel (17 patients).

    For 4 weeks lot 2 and 3 subjects received weekly subgingival irrigation that began

    with the first visit after SM / S (day 0, 7, 14, 21).

    RESULTS

    BLEEDING ON PROBING

    11 patients in group 1 were analyzed in the initial period and 9 of them were

    positive for bleeding on probing, among them eight persons became negative at T1. The

    other two persons positive bleeding a patient was negative T1 to T2. 13 people have been

    analyzed in group 2 and 10 of them were positive bleeding on probing and became

    negative at T1 and T2 3 became positive. 17 people of Lot 3 were analyzed in the initial

    period and 12 were positive and became negative bleeding T1. At this, all sites were

    negative from T1 to T2

    DISCUSSIONS

    This study evaluated the effectiveness of local administration of chlorhexidine gel

    as an adjunct to SM / S. Clinical improvement of all periodontal parameters of batches

    tested were different from the original to a level of significance of 0.05.

    Use the gel with chlorhexidine irrigation improved outcome SM / S in terms of

    testing parameters.

    These results can be linked with chlorhexidine action on microorganisms. The

    group 1 reduced to a decrease in clinical parameters compared to group 3 by the end of

    the study.

    RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS N ENDO--PERIODONTAL SYNDROME

    STUDY PURPOSE

    Is to evaluate the usefulness of radiological studies in diagnosis and management of

    patients with endo-periodontal syndrome.

    MATERIAL AND METHOD

    For radiographic assessment were taken in study patients with endo-periodontal

    syndrome, who analyzed the quality of information brought by each imaging for areas of

    interest, compared with clinical assessment. We considered the type of bone lysis,

    location, severity and number of walls in vertical bone lesions twinning.

    The types of radiological investigation were:

    -X-ray retro-dental-alveolar

    -OPT

    -Computer tomography

    Following the radio-visible elements, our examination said about:

    - Spongy bone in the interdentally trabecular septum as furcation;

    - Image cortical bon with contour increment to be net;

    - Outline septal crest or top of the normal septum is located 1-2 mm apical to the

    junction enamel - cement;

    - Last lamina durra or cribriform lamina which corresponding to radiographic

    image at ligament adjacent bone portion;

    - Desmodontal space: space is black, may have occlusal aetiology but can be a

    technique error;

    - Furcation and their possible involvement;

    - Images of the apical endo-periodontal lesions.

    Radiographic assessment of bone was an indispensable element of diagnosis and

    indication for choosing the method of treatment-conservative or surgical, allowing

    assessment of interdentally and eventually interradiculare bone.

    DISCUSSIONS

    Periapicale radiographs and ortopantomographics may under-or overestimate the

    present line of the alveolar bone. Alveolar bone may be unclear, especially in vertical

    faults. However, if diagnostic methods detect only 1% (ortopantomographics) or 4%

    (apical scan) of the initial vertical lesions, unradiographic method may be preferred by

    others, despite the existence of significant statistical differences between methods.

    The need for 3D CT has led to the appreciation of the characteristics of the

    alveolar bone. CT uses a rotating X-ray fascicule to record an image section of the

    patient, generally in the axial direction. Modern CT apparatus use a continuously moving

    table so that obtains the spiral or helical images of the patient. After image acquisition,

    using a computer program can simulate 3D.

    Simplified concept of CBCT devices lead to significant reductions in operating

    costs compared with traditional CT. One of the major disadvantages is reduced image

    sharpness and image playback inability best of soft parts, which makes this method

    particularly indicated for bone structures.

    PROGNOSIS PRESERVATION OF TEETH EVALUATION

    It should be considered two aspects: overall outcome and prognosis of individual teeth.

    In many cases, after radiographic examination, it is preferable to establish a

    provisional prognosis until after the initial phase of treatment evaluation. Following

  • 28

    initial therapy, active lesions can be converted temporarily inactive why a final prognosis

    will be evaluated only after completing the first phase of treatment.

    INCORRECT ENDODONTIC TREATMENT

    A properly performed endodontic treatment is the key factor of successful

    treatment. It is very important to clean, shape and clog the system channels for successful

    treatment.

    INCORRECT RESTORATION

    Coronary leaching is an important cause of failure in the treatment of endo-

    periodontal. Root channels system can recontaminate with microorganisms by delaying

    their implementation restorations or crown fracture or broken tooth.

    TRAUMA

    Alveolar bone trauma or at tooth pulp and periodontal ligament may affect directly or

    indirectly.

    RESORPTION

    Root resorption is a condition that is associated with a physiological or pathological

    phenomenon which is manifested by loss of dentine, cement and / or alveolar bone.

    PERFORATION

    False paths are root unwanted complications that can lead to a failure of endo-

    periodontal syndrome treatment because they establish communication between the

    system and periodontal tissue channels the oral cavity in which case the prognosis is false

    reserved. Carious lesions ways may occur due to extensive iatrogenic or after absorption

    DEVELOPMENTAL ABNORMALITIES

    Teeth with developmental abnormalities such as invaginations or vertical grooves

    root teeth do not respond normally to such treatment. This grooves start from the central

    fissures in molars and occlusal face supracingular to front and continue along to the apical

    root-distance variables

    Fig. X.1 Anomaly of lateral incisor palatal groove

  • 30

    THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR DOMAIN

    DEVELOPMENT

    In our research we started from the observation that the periodontium is

    anatomically in relation to pulp in the apical foramen and lateral channels of

    communication which creates ways in which pathogens can move from side to side if one

    or both types of tissue are affected.

    Resorption processes from root level and therapeutic measures used in the treatment

    of periodontal disease with dentinal tubules exposure establishes another communication

    channel with pulp.

    Not only that there may be interactions between periodontal and dental pulp that can

    aggravate or extend the lesion, but these interactions put the clinician in difficulty in the

    sense that it must determine the cause periodontal disease directly.

    Following in the preparation doctorate, I proposed:

    o data collection of scientific research to integrate data from the literature on endo-periodontal relations and their treatment, conservative or surgical

    endodontic and periodontal

    o study of endodontic and periodontal pathology in patients of our study, highlighting the complex program for evaluation and treatment in patients

    with severe endo-periodontal syndrome and indication of conservative or

    surgical treatments

    o performance of clinical and laboratory studies on a personal data concerning health and damage endodontic / periodontal in patients who

    were referred to my private dental office for dental treatment and to the

    Clinic of Periodontology UMF Iai.

    The study was focused on the following:

    o Evaluation of endodontic-periodontal status in determining therapeutic options,

    surgical vs. conservative treatment.

    o Evaluation of clinical indicators of periodontal disease (i.e., plaque index, gingival

    inflammation indices - indices of bleeding, attachment loss, alveolar bone lysis).

    o Studies on the identification of clinical and laboratory microbial flora isolated

    from root canals and periodontal pockets.

    o Assessment of iatrogenic potential of scaling / surfasajului on pulp.

    o Observation of clinical and microbiological effects of scaling/surfacing and in

    conjunction with subgingival application of chlorhexidine gel in the treatment of

    periodontal pockets, within the concept of total disinfection of the oral cavity.

  • 31

    o Evaluation of clinical, radiological and statistical analysis and prognostic

    evaluation in conservative or surgical treatment indication.

    As an element of originality we introduced for the first time, after our knowledge,

    the study of diseases simultaneously and the periodontal-endodontic, emphasizing two-

    way relationship that exists between them.

    Ive tried to demonstrate the microbiological assessment that anaerobic bacterial flora involved in the emergence of endodontic disease and periodontal have similarities;

    they are influencing and mouldings each other.

    Also as an original contribution we introduced complementary evaluation of

    radiographic- Computer tomography in the study of endo-periodontal syndrome as an

    instrument of high precision in assessing therapeutic options, conservative or surgical

    treatment.

    GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

    Results indicate that endodontic pathogens do not occur randomly but are found in specific combinations that may contribute to the development of clinical signs

    and symptoms.

    Diseases of endodontic and periodontal edges are clearly related to the existence of Gram-negative microbial species in subgingival level.

    The microbiological tests aimed to isolate and identify anaerobic gram-negative bacterial species known to be involved in diseases such as endodontic and

    periodontal disease.

    Microbiological testing provides important data for targeted antibiotic treatment choice by performing sensitivity testing, working with microbiology laboratory is

    essential.

    Control board subgingival bacterial load supragingival reduce to some extent. Mechanical treatment is relatively effective in suppressing periodontal pathogens and improvements in clinical status.

    Conventional mechanical treatment is a necessary step in periodontal treatment, but always fails to completely eliminate periodontal pathogens, particularly

    furcation, deep periodontal pockets and other intraoral niches.

    In view of the complex ecosystem of periodontal pockets, there is need for antimicrobial agents in conjunction with scaling and surfacing, to eliminate the

    pathogenic flora in some cases of periodontitis.

    Antimicrobial agents are effective in removing potential periodontal pathogens process such inaccessible sites, such as implications furcation, the convex surface

    root deep soft tissues and tubular dentine.

    Surfacing in "classic" manner has a number of limitations that can be easily demonstrated.

    Frequent repetition of the manoeuvres is especially detrimental in the long term effects it produces.

    Every practitioner should evaluate endo-periodontal syndrome by preoperative needs for scaling / surfacing, and regarding that as hard motivation and awareness

    for patients, it is preferable in all respects, an unexpected intervention, often

    iatrogenic, and surfacing

    Loss of substance: surfacing repeated regularly every 3 months, as recommended in the textbooks of Periodontology, causes loss of substances which give eroded

    appearances, characteristically, as evident in the third cervical roots thinned and

    constitute the possible iatrogenic factors pulp involvement

    Compliance with mechanical approach of hardened during periodontal lesions resulting in a lower frequency of these types of problems.

    Our research demonstrates the importance of aggressive attitude changings on cement as the defining role in obtaining tissue reinsertion of periodontal ligament

    collagen fibbers and fibber-growth over the root surfaces.

    We detected many factors that contribute to the onset of endo-periodontal which I grouped as follows:

    - Incorrect endodontic treatment over/under restorations

    - Incorrect conservative operative procedures

    - Trauma to teeth or alveolar bone

    - Developmental abnormalities

    - Iatrogenic endodontic-Perforations / false root paths
