#1. In the new classification of periodontal diseases, endo-perio lesions are categorised as:

Periodontal disease with special features

A form of gingival disease

Necrotizing periodontal disease and conditions

A combined periodontal and endodontic lesions

A result of systemic conditions

#2. Which of the following is most likely to cause an endo-perio lesion?

Periodontal infection with root surface exposure

Gingival recession with subsequent bone loss

Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque accumulation

Trauma to the tooth leading to pulp necrosis

Deep caries extending into the pulp

#3. In the management of an endo-perio lesion, what is the first step in treatment?

Extraction of the affected tooth

Surgical resection of the periodontal tissues

Periodontal debridement and flap surgery

Thorough root canal therapy

Surgical removal of the affected root

#4. The presence of which of the following signs would most likely indicate an endo-perio lesion rather than a simple periodontal abscess?

Absence of mobility and calculus

Intact lamina dura in peri-apex

A sinus tract or fistula extending from the apex of the tooth

Deep periodontal pockets with generalised attachment loss

Severe gingival bleeding with minimal swelling

#5. What is the typical radiographic appearance of an endo-perio lesion?

Widening of the periodontal ligament space

Apical radiolucency extending into the periodontal ligament

Loss of bone height with generalised radiopaque areas

Overhangs or restorations seen at the apex

Horizontal bone loss with no apical involvement

#6. Which of the following is an important factor to consider when distinguishing between endo-perio lesions and periodontitis?

The presence of tooth mobility and calculus

The association with pulp necrosis or irreversible pulpitis

The presence of calculus deposits and stains

The duration of the disease process and remissions

The presence of bacteria resistant on antibiotics

#7. How should an endo-perio lesion primarily be treated if the periodontal and endodontic issues are both severe?

Root canal treatment first, followed by periodontal surgery

Periodontal surgery first, followed by root canal treatment

Antibiotic therapy followed by surgical resection

Extraction of the tooth

Localized debridement followed by scaling and root planing

#8. Which of the following best describes the prognosis of an endo-perio lesion?

The prognosis depends on the success of both endodontic and periodontal therapy

The prognosis is generally poor, requiring extraction in most cases

The prognosis is good if it can only be treated with surgery

The prognosis is similar to simple periodontal disease

The prognosis is better if the periodontal lesion is treated first

#9. Which of the following conditions is most commonly associated with the development of endo-perio lesions?

Poor oral hygiene and deep caries

Periodontal disease with intact pulp

Orthodontic treatment with poor oral hygiene

Traumatic injury leading to pulp necrosis

Systemic conditions like diabetes and atherosclerosis

#10. What is the most critical factor in determining whether a tooth with an endo-perio lesion can be saved or should be extracted?

The depth of periodontal pockets

The success of endodontic treatment

The depth of caries lesion

The response to antibiotic therapy

The patient’s systemic health status
