Advancements and new technologies in instruments, materials and devices enabled clinicians to deal with difficult cases that they were not able to deal with it in the past. Outcome of root canal treatments is enhanced by the contemporary techniques available especially in management of root canal calcification, ledges and broken instruments. The superior visualization with the aid of CBCT imaging permits more accurate clinical evaluations including the identification of the canal root morphology that cannot be visualized with the available magnification tools and allowing for a precise assessment of the challenge and the appropriate treatment plan for its resolution.Â
Objectives:
- Understand the value of using digital solutions for difficulty assessment of complex root canal treatment cases.
- Recognize different concepts and techniques for management of different types of root canal calcifications and ledges.
