Abstract: Combined endodontic-periodontal lesions involving the pulp and periodontal tissues are difficult to treat and have a poor prognosis. This article reports a case of combined endodontic-periodontal lesions with severe alveolar bone loss in maxillary first molar. The patient was treated with a combination of root canal therapy, initial periodontal therapy, guided tissue regeneration, and simultaneous apical surgery to achieve intentional retention of the affected tooth.

Key words: combined endodontic-periodontal lesions, furcation lesions, guided tissue regeneration, apical surgery
