Prevalence Rate of Endodontic-Periodontic Lesion in Young versus Adult Patients: A Comparative Analysis.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Endodontic-periodontic (EP) lesions represent a challenging dental condition that involves both pulp and periodontal structures. These lesions demand a collaborative approach between endodontic and periodontal disciplines. While their etiology and clinical management have been well documented, age-related differences in prevalence and severity remain underexplored. Aim: This study aims to compare the prevalence and severity of EP lesions in young adults (18-30 years) versus adult patients (31-50 years) to identify age-related trends and contributing factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted on 70 patients-35 in each age group. Clinical and radiographic examinations were used to diagnose EP lesions. The severity of each lesion was scored using a standardized 4-grade scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 25.0), with Chi-square and Results: EP lesions were more prevalent and severe in the adult group compared to the younger group. Grade 3 and 4 lesions were more frequently observed in adults, correlating with poorer oral hygiene and a higher incidence of risk factors like smoking and previous periodontal disease. Young patients primarily exhibited Grade 1 and 2 lesions, often associated with trauma or acute infections. Conclusion: The findings suggest that age significantly influences the prevalence and progression of EP lesions. Adults are more prone to advanced-stage lesions due to accumulated risk factors and systemic influences. These insights highlight the need for age-specific diagnostic and preventive strategies in managing EP lesions.
