Management of pulp canal obliterations

Introduction. Pulp canal obliteration may affect
all teeth and take various forms. We encounter
partial and total pulp canal obliteration as well as
obliteration in a form of pulp stones. Aim of study.
To present various management approaches and
treatment strategies in pulp canal obliteration.
Material and method. The study presents clinical
cases of different forms of obliteration and treatment
options including observation. Results. Endodontic
treatment of pulp canal obliteration is challenging
and time consuming. Microscope and ultrasonic unit
together with different ultrasonic tips are very useful
and helpful devices. In some cases observation, rather
than endodontic treatment, is recommended without
any dental intervention. Conclusions. No compromise
with regard to treatment of obliterated teeth has been
worked out.
