Factors affecting the level of difficulty of this endodontic procedure on a long, remote and heavily calcified second maxillary molar 27 (Irreversible Pulpitis):
- Pulp chamber is obliterated making its access more difficult
- Narrow root canal entries are embedded in a mass of calcifications, thus, they do have to be located with a microscope
- Root canals are narrowed by calcifications thus the odds of blocking, perforating or breaking an instrument are higher than in a tooth presenting with wide canals
- To top it all of a second maxillary molar is in a remote area of the mouth making the whole procedure more complicated to perform
