Static Guided Endodontic Management of a Calcified Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report
Abstract: Pulp canal obliteration (PCO) presents significant challenges in endodontic treatment due to difficulty in canal localization. This case report describes the use of static guided endodontics for managing a calcified maxillary central incisor in an 18-year-old patient presenting with anterior maxillary pain. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanning were integrated to design a three-dimensional printed guide for precise canal access. Chemomechanical preparation and obturation were successfully completed following guided access. The procedure enabled accurate canal localization with minimal tooth structure removal and no procedural complications. These findings suggest that static guided endodontics is a reliable and minimally invasive approach for managing PCO cases, improving treatment precision and clinical outcomes.
