Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints

Brief Summary   Iatrogenic pulpitis can occur following the periodontal treatment of tooth with severe periodontal bone loss involving the apex. This might lead to anxiety and apprehension in the minds of patients and may force the patient to feel that periodontal treatment has led to the endodontic problem. To allay the anxiety of future endodontic problem, there is a need for periodontist to suggest for intentional root canal therapy in patients with severe periodontal bone loss extending upto the apex of the root.
This study is aimed to provide guidlines for suggesting intentional root canal therapy in patients with severe periodontal bone loss.

A total of 105 chronic generalised periodontitis patients were assessed. With the help of radiovisography(RVG) ,the distance between the root apex and the residual bone was measured and pulp vitality test was carried out on respective tooth with the bone loss.  All patients underwent periodontal treatment according to the treatment needs.Patients who did not undergo intentional root canal therapy was evaluated 6 weeks later after periodontal treatment to assess the development of secondary endodontic signs and symptoms.

The mean distance between the root apex and the base of the residual bone of the tooth with severe periodontal bone loss was -2.007±0.495mm in patients who underwent root canal therapy and -1.311±1.574mm in patients who did not undergo root canal therapy.
