Negotiating Calcific Canal Obliteration with Predictability: A Literature Review

Abstract

Injuries to permanent teeth can result in clinical complications, presenting significant challenges for dental practitioners. Studies indicate that approximately 4 to 24 percent of cases experience pulp canal obliteration post-trauma. The process of locating canals after calcific metamorphosis and ensuring successful negotiation to their full length can potentially result in iatrogenic issues like fractured instruments and perforation. This review article offers insights into the management of obliterated root canals. Keywords: Calcified Canal, Calcific Metamorphosis, Pulp Canal Obliteration
