## TL;DR

This paper presents a successful case of treating a tooth with a combined endodontic and periodontal lesion using a bone graft.

## Contribution

The paper highlights the effectiveness of bone grafts in managing complex endo-perio lesions with furcation involvement.

## Key findings

- Bone graft materials showed encouraging outcomes in lesion repair and regeneration.
- A multidisciplinary approach is essential for successful treatment of endo-perio lesions.
- The case report demonstrates successful treatment with long-term follow-up.

## Abstract

As periodontal and endodontic tissues have a close association, they come into close touch and have a lot of possible places for communication. In a clinical setting, this correlation promotes infection spread and results in the typical endo-perio lesion appearance. Because the two tissues are in close touch with one another, managing such lesions can be difficult. The success of treatment depends on a thorough examination and careful planning, with the sole focus on repair and regeneration. In these situations, bone graft materials with such characteristics have demonstrated encouraging outcomes. The treatment outcome along with a follow-up for a case of an endo-perio lesion with furcation involvement is shown in the accompanying case report. In treating such instances, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary, emphasizing regeneration.
