Influence of intracanal medicaments on the periodontal and periapical healing in concurrent endodontic-periodontal lesions with/without communication: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionIn
patients with/without concurrent endodontic-periodontal lesions,
intracanal medication improved clinical periodontal parameters following
endodontic therapy. In terms of influence on periapical healing, the
results were inconclusive.Clinical relevanceTwo-visit
RCT may be considered since it allows for the placement of an ICM in
endodontic-periodontal lesions with/without communication. Sufficient
time should be allowed after endodontic therapy for any potential
periodontal regeneration to occur.
