Abstract

Pulp canal obliteration commonly occurs after dental trauma. It causes complete or partial obliteration of the root canal system which poses challenge for endodontic treatment. It can be caused due to other factors such as age, systemic factors , long standing low grade stimulus. The various challenges in endodontic treatment is difficulty in identifying the canal orifice which can be achieved with the help of certain specialized burs such as Muller burs, Munce discovery burs .DG 16 can also be used in locating the orifice. Negotiating such canals is a very crucial step. Many new file systems such as C pilot files, C path finder files or even modification of K files can be used. Many iatrogenic errors occur during the negotiation or location of canals such as instrument fracture or root perforation. This article presents 3 case reports of pulp canal obliteration due to long standing low grade stimulus, problems associated with locating and negotiating the canal and successful completion of the endodontic treatment.
