Prevalence Of Endo Perio Lesion - An Institutional Study

The interrelationship between endodontic and periodontal disease has been a subject of confusion and controversy for many years. Pulpal and periodontal problems are responsible for more than 50% of tooth mortality rate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of endo-perio lesions among patients in an institution. This retrospective study included patients who were diagnosed with endo perio lesion from June 2019 to March 2020 in a private institution. Variables such as age, gender and the site of endo perio lesion were retrieved from the patient's records. Data was tabulated and was statistically subjected to IBM SPSS version 23 and results were obtained. Descriptive and inferential statistics were done. In our study, out of 150 patients, 17.3% of the patients had endo perio lesion. There were 12.7% males and 4.7% females. On analysing the age and the prevalence of endo perio lesion, the higher prevalence was seen among 31-40 years age groups (5.3%). Also, there was statistically significant association between age and the endo perio lesion while there was no statistically significant association between gender and the endo perio lesion. The present study showed that 17.3% of the study population had endo perio lesion. Also, prevalence of endo perio lesion was higher among males (12.7%) and among the age group of 31-40 years (5.3%).
