Perio-endodontic Lesions that Require Endodontic Therapy in Alzheimer's Disease Patients

Twenty individuals with Alzheimer's disease who were older than 60 participated in this observational cross-sectional analytical investigation. The study participants were chosen using the purposive sample technique in accordance with preset inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, using a pretested semi-structured check list, information was gathered through clinical, radiological, dental, and medical history. Digital OPG or radiovisiography (RVG) were used to evaluate perio-endodontic lesions that required endodontic therapy. According to the findings, 15 Alzheimer's patients out of the 21 participants suffered from perio-endo lesions. In conclusion, perio-endodontic lesions that require endodontic therapy are more common in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
