It is well known that the main purpose of dentistry is to keep teeth in the oral cavity so that they may fulfil their various roles. This case report demonstrates a method to treat a situation involving a pulpal‐periodontal lesion, by using a simple and efficient combined therapy. The clinician can thereby determine the cause of the lesion (pulpal and/or periodontal) and subsequently establish the correct treatment, thus improving the prognosis of the case.
