Endodontic-periodontal lesion is a commonly encountered dental condition. However, the prognosis of the condition varies from good to poor. Some cases are associated with a poor prognosis that requires tooth extraction. This report presents a case of an endodontic-periodontal lesion in a tooth that was successfully treated by root canal treatment.
