Resumo
This study aimed to report a case series and describe the use of guided endodontics in
complex symptomatic cases of mandibular and maxillary molars; presenting
calcification of all three root canals. The arches of the referred patients were scanned,
and high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging was
performed. Then, the taken CBCT and tooth scans were aligned and processed using
software. A virtual copy of a drill was superimposed onto the scans and evaluated in 3
dimensions. Subsequently, a 3-dimensional (3D) template was designed and printed.
Drilling was performed and a radiograph was taken to confirm its position. The canals
were reached and endodontic treatment was performed. At the 12-month follow-up,
the teeth were completely asymptomatic. The use of guided endodontics in cases of
calcification in molars was demonstrated to be a viable and reliable alternative
treatment. The technique was based on 3D planning.
