Inside every tooth lies a delicate balance between the pulp (nerve tissue) and the periodontium (supporting bone and gum). When infection strikes one, it can spread to the other — forming what dentists call a periodontal–endodontic lesion.
These lesions are complex and require both root canal therapy and periodontal (gum) surgery for complete healing.
