Manejo de conductos calcificados en la odontología. Revisión de la literatura

Abstract

This literature review focuses on the management of calcified canals. They are associated with the uncontrolled accumulation of hard tissue in the pulp chamber and root canal, which can lead to partial or complete canal obliteration. The primary objective is understanding the effective management of calcified canals in teeth. The methodology involved a documentary research approach, incorporating studies from university repositories and scientific articles from databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and SciELO. Keywords were applied, and studies in English, Spanish, and Portuguese published between 2019 and 2023 were considered. The results demonstrate that guided endodontics, a recent procedure in dentistry, is among the protocols used for treating calcified root canals. This approach enables accurate and rapid location, facilitating effective treatment. In conclusion, treating such dental complications necessitates constant updates and improvements aligned with the technological advancements introduced.
