Abstract：Objective:To evaluate the cone-beam CT (CBCT) and micro-ultrasound technology diagnosis and treatment of clinical effects in calcified root canal in aged people and to provide reference for the treatment of calcified root canal in the elderly.Methods:Our hospital 60 cases of elderly patients with 108 curved calcified root canal as the research object,are were due to the traditional root canal treatment cann't dredging canals,using CBCT technology examination to determine the position of the root canal orifices and root canal direction,Then microsurgical techniqueused to remove the calcified tissue in the coronal and in the upper section of the canal,exploration and dredging canals,statistical and statistics success rate of root canal dredging.Results:Ninety-five calcified canals were managed successfully with a success rate of 87.9％.The coronal third calcified canal had a dredging rate of 98.5％,the middle ones was 80.0％,and the apical ones was 53.8％.Conclusions:using Cone-beam CT and ultrasound microscopy techniques can provide an effective method for calcified root canal dredging.
