【 摘 要 】

Management of pulp canal obliteration and apicoectomy procedures with an endodontic guide is presented in multiple cases. This case report series highlights a cost-effective guide construction approach using an open-source cone-beam computed tomography software, ITK-snap. A simple soft template was used as a guide for successful access of calcified canals and osteotomy preparation with reduction of unwarranted adjacent tissue damage.
