Management of iatrogenic root perforation with pulp canal obliteration
Iatrogenic root perforations, which may have serious implications, occur in approximately 2-12% of endodontically treated teeth. Successful management of root perforations is dependent on early diagnosis of the defect, location of the perforation, choice

Guided Endodontic Technique in Mandibular Incisors with Pulp Canal Obliteration: A Case Report. [PDF]
The American Association of Endodontics classifies the management of pulp canal obliteration (PCO) cases as a high-risk difficulty. This classification indicates an increased likelihood of procedural errors.

Occurrence of pulp canal obliteration after luxation injuries in the permanent dentition
A material of 637 concussed, subluxated, extruded, laterally luxated and intruded permanent incisors was analyzed with respect to factors influencing the development of pulp canal obliteration (PCO) after injury. A total of 96 (15%) developed partial PCO;

Guided Endodontic Treatment of Mandibular Incisor with Pulp Canal Obliteration following Dental Trauma: A Case Report. [PDF]
Root canal obliteration is caused by hard tissue apposition and is often associated with teeth with a history of trauma, orthodontic movement, caries reaction, restorative procedures near the pulp chamber, and teeth of elderly patients.

Static Guided Endodontic Approach for Pulp Canal Obliteration: A Case Report [PDF]
Traumatic injuries to the permanent dentition have deleterious sequelae if not treated adequately. In luxation injuries, it has been observed that tertiary dentin apposition may occur and can lead to calcification and closure of the pulp space. This is commonly referred to as pulp canal calcification or pulp canal obliteration.

Management of Pulp Canal Obliteration Using the Modified-Tip Instrument Technique [PDF]
The incidence of pulp canal obliteration following dental trauma has been reported to be approximately 4 - 24% and its management can be quite challenging for the practitioner. Locating the canal and negotiating it to full working length may lead to iatrogenic errors such as fractured instrument and perforation.
