Abstract:	Background: The endodontic treatment of calcified root canals in molars is a challenging and time-consuming procedure. Even with the aid of a surgical microscope, the risk of root perforation is high, especially in the furcation area. The purpose of this study is to report the Computer-Aided-Design and Manufacturing (CAD–CAM) workflow, the innovative strategies for the template ideation, and the guided endodontic treatment of a mandibular molar with dystrophic calcification in the mesial root canals. Case presentation: A 58-year-old female patient, ASA I, was referred to endodontic treatment in the right first mandibular molar for prosthetic reasons. The mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals appeared obliterated in the radiographic images. The absence of dental crown, tooth inclination, and the limited mouth opening of the region contributed to a poor visual reference of the tooth in the dental arch and the direction of the remaining lumens of the canals. Despite using surgical microscopy, the conventional technique led to the deviation of the mesiobuccal canal towards the furcation area. The obliteration of both mesial root canals was confirmed using the Cone Beam Computer Tomography. The clinical history associated with the tomography diagnosis was compatible with dystrophic calcifica tions in the pulp canals. The patient was submitted to an intra-oral scanning as well. The Digital Imaging and Commu nications in Medicine data (DICOM) were segmented. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were processed following the CAD–CAM workflow, aiming to create two different endodontic templates with a new open design concept. The templates with open design allowed direct visualization of the operative field, irrigation, and dentin debris removal. The strategy of the guidance sleeves niche as half-cylinders allowed the drill insertion in a limited mouth opening region. Conclusions: The digital planning and guided access permitted to overcome the case limitations and then re-establish the glide path following the original anatomy of the root canals. The guided endodontic represents a personalized technique that provides security, reduced risks of root perforation, and a significant decrease of the working time to access obliterated root canals even in the mesial root canal of mandibular molars, a region of limited mouth opening.
