In some circumstances, the inflammation may extend from the periodontal region to the pulp or vice versa. In perio-endo lesions, an appropriate treatment plan is required to obtain a predictable and reliable treatment prognosis. The development and progression of these perio-endo lesions can be influenced by many factors such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, trauma, root resorption, perforation and dental malformations. An appropriate treatment plan for perio-endo lesions can provide a good prognosis.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> To describe periodontal treatments performed in patients with perio-endo lesions.</p> <p><strong>Case Report:</strong> A 39-year-old man presented to Hasanuddin University Dental and Oral Hospital with a chief complaint of uncomfortable left posterior maxillary teeth during mastication. Clinical examination showed vital, non-caries, pocket depth of ±9mm on tooth 26. Radiographic examination showed a radiolucent lesion that extended to the apically. Regenerative periodontal treatment was performed using a combination of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with demineralized freeze-dried bone xenograft (DFDBX).</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> During the observation period, pocket depth was reduced, and the pain was absent.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Periodontal inflammation that extends to the pulp tissue can be prevented by regenerative periodontal treatment using a combination of PRF and DFDBX, which shows promising results.</p> <p>Keywords: endo-perio lesions, periodontal regenerative, periodontal surgery</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={KnE Medicine}, author={Wahyu Putri, Sri and Mappangara, Surijana and Gani, Asdar and Pamungkas Sigit Nardiatmo, Sri and Dwipa A, Gustivanny}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={61-69} }
