Periodontal status of endodontically treated teeth

Endodontic and periodontal treatments are performed to help patients keep their natural teeth healthy and functional. To enhance the effectiveness of these interventions, dentists should also consider factors that influence the long-term survival of the affected teeth. Among these are nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) and postendodontic restorations that can influence survival for endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Periodontal disease is a major factor in tooth extraction after NSRCT. The influence of periodontal status of the tooth when NSRCT is done and the role of supportive periodontal treatment (SPT) on the survival rate of ETT were investigated.
