Abstract:

 Background: The main objective of the present study was to assess a new radiographicscoring system for Periodontic-Endodontic Infection Methods: Forty patients were assessed byperiapical and CBCT radiographs. A new Perio-endo index (PEI) was used to determine theperio-endo status: 0: no radiolucency present. 1: periapical radiolucency alone or periodontalradiolucency alone. 2: both periapical and periodontal radiolucency are present but there isno connection. 3: true connection of both periapical and periodontal radiolucency. Results:The findings of the present investigation demonstrated that the CBCT images present highaccuracy for the detection of pero-endo lesion. CBCT images tend to offer greater scores thanperiapical radiographs, suggesting that diagnosis of the graduation of pero-endo lesion withconventional images is frequently underestimated. pero-endo lesions was correctly identifiedwith conventional methods when a severe condition was present. Conclusion: the prevalenceof pero-endo lesion was significantly higher with CBCT, in comparison to periapical radiograph..
