Static Guided Approach for Obliterated Canal -A Case Report of Maxillary Central Incisor

In recent decades, significant technological advances have deeply influenced our daily lives. Notably, innovations such as 3D printers and 3D cone-beam computed tomography have become valuable tools in clinical dentistry. Diagnosing and treating teeth with pulp canal obliteration presents unique challenge in endodontic procedures. These challenges include the risk of breaking root canal instruments during treatment, preparing overly extended access cavities, and misaligning the access cavity, which could potentially lead to root perforation. Recently, guided endodontics has gained popularity as a method to address these issues. This case report explores the use of guided endodontics in treating a maxillary central incisor with pulp canal obliteration. This approach is advantageous as it reduces the time patients spend undergoing treatment and, more critically, minimizes the risk of inadvertent damage to the tooth structure.
