Endoperiodontal lesion. A case report.

摘要

The purpose of this case report is to present an unusual endoperiodontal lesion on tooth 46 in an 8-year-old child. The absence of any carious process and the presence of the typical radiographic aspect of an infrabony defect, led us to consider the periodontal aetiopathogenesis. In spite of all this, an accurate periodontal probing of all the teeth and the use of the pulp tester for teeth 46 and 36 led us to diagnose properly a truly endodontic lesion. The endodontic treatment of the involved tooth achieved the complete healing of the lesion.
