Aim: This clinical case report demonstrates the successful management of a complex endodontic-periodontal iatrogenic lesion following a critical evaluation and decision-making process with interdisciplinary treatment strategies. Background: Defective dental restorations can affect the periodontal and endodontic health of the teeth. Case report: An endodontic-periodontal lesion that resulted from a faulty restoration in a 30-year-old male patient is reported. The management of the case is done through periodontal and endodontic treatment. The detailed method of managing of this type of cases is discussed. Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of a systematic diagnosis process will help in the identification and treatment of iatrogenic endodontic-periodontal lesions. Clinical significance: The correct management of endodonticperiodontal lesions can impede the loss of the involved teeth.
