        abstract = {Calcified teeth pose significant challenges in endodontic treatment due to the partial or complete obliteration of root canals, often leading to complications such as treatment failure, instrument fracture, and patient discomfort. Traditional methods relying on tactile sensation and radiographs are frequently inadequate, particularly in managing severely calcified teeth. The advent of guided endodontics, which integrates cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, has revolutionized treatment approaches. This review explores the evolution of endodontic treatment for calcified teeth, emphasizing the benefits of guided endodontics. By providing precise, minimally invasive access to calcified canals, guided endodontics improves clinical outcomes, reduces chair time, and enhances patient comfort. Despite challenges such as high costs, limited availability, and the need for technical expertise, the advantages, including enhanced precision, higher success rates, and decreased instrument fracture risk, make guided endodontics a superior choice for managing calcified teeth. Technological innovations, such as ultrasonic instruments and bioceramic sealers, further contribute to successful treatment outcomes. Guided endodontics is transforming endodontic care, offering a safer, faster, and more effective solution for tooth preservation, especially in complex cases where conventional techniques fall short.},
