Abstract

The success of endodontic therapy depends on appropriate access cavity, cleaning, shaping, and root filling techniques. Pulp canal calcification occurs following traumatic injuries to teeth. The root canal space can be obliterated by calcified tissue deposits in canal. Generally calcified tooth does not show any symptom, but when tooth becomes symptomatic root canal therapy is the only treatment option. The negotiation of calcified canal is very difficult to dentist. Iatrogenic errors such as perforation, instrument fracture is very common during calcified canal location and negotiation.
