Summary. Periapical lesions are abnormal growths or infections that can occur around the root tip of a tooth. Periodontitis and periapical abscess are among periapical infections. Periapical lesions can be caused by tooth decay, trauma to the tooth, or a previous dental procedure.

The endodontic-periodontal lesion conundrum Bone resorption in the apical or furcation region. Spontaneous pain or pain on palpation and percussion. Purulent exudate. Tooth mobility. Sinus tract – often located at the gingival margin. Crown and gingival colour change.

Primary Endodontic Lesion – This is where the problem is purely endodontic in nature, but the lesion happens to be draining through the gingival tissue. It is not unusual for drainage to present through the gingival crevice or the area of furcation.

The presence of a combined endodontic-periodontal lesion will always result in a compromised situation following treatment. Even with apparently successful treatment, the tooth will still be compromised as there is likely to be some gingival recession and loss of periodontal attachment and bone support.

Etiologic factors such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses as well as various contributing factors such as trauma, root resorptions, perforations, and dental malformations play an important role in the development and progression of such lesions.

Inflammatory proteins from endometriosis can travel to the bladder and bowels, causing nausea during your period as well as diarrhea, constipation, or pain with urination throughout the month. “There's also overlap between endometriosis and conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome,” Dr. Kossl says.

Endodontists are concerned with the health of the dental pulp and the nerves within the teeth, while periodontists focus on the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
