Periodontics and endodontics share common objectives and common field of interest. Both disciplines treat lesions of the periodontal tissues; in their marginal aspect the first, in the periapical aspect the latter. These relationships have not been well understood for a long time. This article is a review of the literature on the topic aimed at clarifying the anatomic, microbiological, pathogenetic relationship in the periodontal and endodontic lesions.
