Treatment of a Periodontal-Endodontic Combined Lesion with Root Fracture Using Hemisection and Periodontal Bone Grafting: A Case Report
Abstract：Periodontal-endodontic combined lesions involve both the pulp tissue, periapical tissue, and periodontal supporting tissues, presenting multiple challenges in clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognosis assessment [1]. The prognosis of teeth with periodontal-endodontic combined lesions accompanied by root damage is even more complex, and clinical practice often recommends extraction. This article reports a case of a periodontal-endodontic combined lesion with root fracture in the right first maxillary molar three years after root canal treatment. The patient underwent hemisection and periodontal bone grafting, and the treatment outcome was satisfactory after a three-year follow-up. The following is the report.
