Core Tip

Core Tip: We present a case of an endodontic-periodontal lesion in a tooth that was successfully treated by root canal treatment. Sufficient knowledge about the diagnosis, treatment strategies, and intervals of treatment of the endodontic-periodontal lesion is essential to obtain the best outcomes in a short period with a conservative and minimally invasive procedure.
