Abstract

Calcific metamorphosis is the obliteration of pulp canal space due to trauma or injury. Hemorrhage and blood clot formation in the pulp after injury is a nidus for calcification if the pulp still remains vital. Calcification replaces the cellular components of the pulp. Teeth with pulp canal obliteration prove to be a challenge to endodontic treatment. This case report describes the successful management of a tooth with calcified canal and perforation with six months follow up.

Keywords

Pulp Canal Obliteration, Perforation, Root Canal Treatment.

Abstract

The Endodontic treatment of a mandibular molar with third ischolar_main can be diagnostically and technically challenging. The location of the extra canal and the curvature in its course to the apex can pose difficulty in the management of radices. This case report discusses endodontic treatment of three mandibular first molars with radix. Awareness of unusual ischolar_main canal morphology and the modifications in the management protocol can contribute to the successful outcome of endodontic treatment.

Keywords

Radix Entomolaris, Radix Paramolaris, mandibular molar.
