Guided endodontics using 3D-printed guides successfully treated a complex case of pulp canal obliteration and root fracture. This minimally invasive approach improved predictability and preserved the tooth.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Dental Technology
Background:
- Patient presented with pain in a lateral incisor due to pulp canal obliteration and a complex root fracture.
- Initial attempts at root canal treatment failed due to difficulties locating the canal opening.
- The tooth had a poor prognosis, with extraction being the likely outcome.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
