Abstract
Traumatic injuries to the permanent dentition have deleterious sequelae if not treated adequately. In luxation injuries, it has been observed that tertiary dentin apposition may occur and can lead to calcification and closure of the pulp space. This is commonly referred to as pulp canal calcification or pulp canal obliteration. This often presents a challenge to clinicians when endodontic treatment is indicated. Static guided endodontic therapy has been advocated in such cases and has been successfully employed as a treatment strategy in recent years. This involves the design and fabrication of a digital stent, which serves as a guide for the clinician and provides a straight path to the targeted tissue site. This article reports a case of pulp canal obliteration secondary to a luxation injury sustained due to a vehicular accident. The case was treated using the static guided endodontic approach to achieve a minimal direct access to the targeted pulp chamber space.
