  • Resumo

    Objective: This study describes the case of a 75-year-old patient with pain in tooth 22. Methodology: To construct this case report, it was necessary to use as a basis an existing and published work, a study that addressed and taught how a case report article should be written, what its structure should be, what methodology should be applied to acquire works that are full of proven scientific evidence and how this type of article should be approached. Thus, the work of Yin (2001) was the study that served as a guide during the preparation of this case report. Results: Guided Endodontics uses imaging technologies and computer-aided design to plan and perform procedures in challenging cases, such as root canal calcification. Radiographic analysis revealed calcification of the root canal. The procedure involves Cone Beam Computed Tomography and intraoral scanning for virtual planning of the endodontic guide, which was 3D printed and fixed in the patient's maxilla to access the canal using a specific drill. After instrumentation of the canal and removal of the smear layer, the canal was filled with bioceramic cement. Conclusion: The patient returned three years after filling of the root canal system, observing the success of endodontic therapy, concluding the effectiveness of Guided Endodontics in the treatment of root canal calcification, providing satisfactory and predictable clinical results.
