Calcified Canals – A Review

Abstract

Dental traumatic injuries may lead to several clinical complications. One of them is the pulp canal obliteration, which presents itself as an uncontrolled hard tissue deposition along the pulp chamber and root canal walls. Over time, it may partially or completely obliterate the pulp canal space. In an effort to treat a tooth in that condition, the endodontist faces a great challenge that might end up in an accident such as root perforation. This article aims to make a brief review on the causes, mode of development and management of calcified canals.
