Private Endodontic Practice, Tokyo, Japan.

The types of pulpal disease found in multirooted teeth may vary from one root canal to the next. Current endodontic treatment strategies allow for options such as regenerative endodontics, vital pulp therapy, or conventional root canal treatment depending on the disease status of the pulp in a specific root canal. A combination of procedures was used in the 3 teeth in this case series based on the assumed pulpal status in each canal. The follow-up ranged from 24-27 months, and in each case the healing response was satisfactory. This report illustrates the use of a combination of treatment procedures that can provide specific treatment benefits in various clinical situations.
