Abstract :

The pulp and periodontium originate from ectomesenchyme. They are embryonically, anatomically and functionally inter-related. The concurrent existence of pulpal inflammation and periodontal disease are clinical dilemma as it can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. This case report evaluates the efficacity of decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) along with bio-resorbable barrier membrane in the management of right maxillary central incisor. A patient aged 33 yrs reported to our department with endo-perio lesion in right maxillary central incisor. It was treated with decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (OSSEOGRAFT) along with bio-resorbable barrier membrane (PERIOCOL). 6 months after the procedure, there was improvement in clinical parameters.
