N2  - Due to their destructive impact on the tooth structure and the supporting periapical tissues, endodontic-periodontal lesions provide a significant challenge for the dentist in their care (i.e., bone and periodontal membrane). A thorough history is crucial to identifying the root of the problem and accurately diagnosing the patient's condition.

This is a cross-sectional study conducted among 500 dentists in Riyadh using an online survey using convenient sampling. An online questionnaire was used consisting of questions related to demographic data followed by questions including knowledge, attitude, and confidence toward handling perio-endo lesions in clinics. 66% of the participants preferred referring EPL patients to specialists. 71% reported that using intra-canal medications can be useful in treating EPL. 58% revealed they did not have adequate knowledge regarding the successful management of EPL patients. The attitude of dental practitioners toward the treatment of Endo-Perio lesions is positive. But it does not correlate with their knowledge and practice.
