Assessment of the Correlation Between Systemic Conditions and Pulp Canal Calcification: A Case-Control Study [PDF]
Cureus, 2023 Pulp canal calcification is a dental condition that is characterized by the deposition of mineralized tissue within the dental pulp space. While it is primarily a local phenomenon, recent studies have suggested a potential link between pulp calcification and systemic diseases.

Accuracy of Dynamic Navigation vs. Freehand Endodontic Access Cavity Preparation in 3-Dimensionally Printed Teeth with Severe Pulp Canal Calcification [PDF]
Journal of Functional BiomaterialsBackground: Pulp canal calcification (PCC) poses a challenge for endodontic treatment, as it obscures the canal and increases the risk of complications. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of endodontic access cavity preparation using dynamic navigation (DN) and to compare it with the freehand (FH) technique in teeth with severe PCC.

Tooth substance loss after incisal endodontic access and novel single-tooth template-guided endodontic access in three-dimensional printed resin incisors with simulated pulp canal calcification: A comparative in vitro study. [PDF]
J Conserv Dent, 2023 Guided endodontics has various applications, one of which is for calcified canal negotiation. Recently, a new single-tooth template has been fabricated to overcome the drawbacks of bulky guides, which are difficult to use with rubber dam isolation.This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the novel single-tooth template for negotiation of pulp canal ...

Therapeutic Approach to Pulp Canal Calcification as Sequelae of Dental Avulsion. [PDF]
Eur Endod J, 2017 Tooth avulsion represents the most complicated dental injury, and the classic treatment is tooth replanta- tion. The most common sequelae are pulp canal calcification (PCC) and pulp necrosis. The presence of pulp necrosis after PCC is reported in up to 30% of the cases and is a challenge due to the difficulty of endodontic treatment.

Discrete pulp canal calcification in a case of full pulpotomy: A 2-year follow-up case report. [PDF]
J Conserv Dent EndodPulpotomy is recognized as a promising treatment option, especially for immature permanent teeth, as it prevents the unnecessary removal of radicular pulp tissue. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcome of full pulpotomy using Biodentine in the young permanent tooth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

European Journal of General Dentistry, 2019 AbstractThe objective of this report is to describe a surgical treatment in a traumatized tooth presenting pulp canal calcification (PCC) and periapical pathology. Three months after a patient had suffered injuries by luxation in the right central mandibular incisor, complete calcification of root canals was radiographically observed in addition to a ...
