[Possibilities and efficacy of treating perio-endodontic syndrome type III].

Abstract

The aim of the investigation was to assess two methods of the treatment of III type perio-endo syndrome by Simon, Glick and Frank. In group I only periodontic treatment was performed including scaling, root planing and curettage. In group II periodontic treatment was supplemented by endodontic therapy. The results were registered by: Plaque Index, Sulcus Bleeding Index, Sulcus Fluid Rate, Bone Lost Index EMR, pocket depth and tooth mobility; before treatment, 7 days after treatment, 6 weeks and 6 months after treatment. In group II in selected cases (teeth with vital pulp and pocket depth more than 6 mm), microbiological examination of the dental pulp and dental plaque from the pocket was carried out. The results showed that the periodontal therapy was not effective. In first group, after 6 months the teeths mobility was extend, the pocket depth was reduced by 1 mm only, in gingiva there was registered still with chronic inflammation and the bone growth was not significant. In the second group the teeth mobility was less significant, the pocket depth was reduced more than 3.5 mm, in 21% persons the gingiva was in good health condition and the bone growth was significant (7.5%). The anaerobic bacteria were incubated in 9 probes of dental pulp for 10 examinations.
