The localization of partial or completed root canal obliteration is a challenging task in endodontic practice. Recently, guided endodontics has become an alternative solution for those cases. Although this technique has already been used clinically in managing anterior teeth, in this report, we describe 3 complex clinical scenarios of calcified root canals of 1 molar and 2 premolars using guided endodontics. The clinical cases reported here show that technological evolutions should make guided endodontic procedures more widespread because their execution is relatively fast and safe even in the case of the upper molar. Additionally, 12-month clinical follow-up visits showed the effectiveness of the guided endodontic procedures.
根管内部分或完全阻塞的定位是牙髓病学中一项极具挑战性的任务。近年来,牙髓导航技术已成为此类病例的另一种解决方案。尽管该技术已在临床前牙治疗中应用,但本报告中,我们描述了使用牙髓导航技术治疗 1 颗磨牙和 2 颗前磨牙的 3 例复杂钙化根管病例。本报告中的临床病例表明,技术进步应使牙髓导航治疗更为普及,因为即使是在上颌磨牙中,其操作也相对快速且安全。此外,12 个月的临床随访显示了牙髓导航治疗的有效性。
