Abstract
Root Canal Treatment in geriatric patients poses distinct clinical and practical challenges due to the complex interplay of age-related anatomical, physiological, and systemic factors. This review explores the common difficulties encountered in performing RCTs in older adults, including pulp canal calcification, altered tooth morphology, and increased brittleness of dental structures. Systemic comorbidities, polypharmacy, cognitive decline, and reduced healing capacity further complicate diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognosis. Psychosocial issues such as dental anxiety, impaired mobility, and financial limitations can also impact treatment acceptance and adherence. Additionally, ethical considerations surrounding informed consent in cognitively impaired patients add another layer of complexity. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and patient-centered approach that considers both the oral and general health status of the patient. With appropriate modifications in clinical techniques and a holistic understanding of the elderly population’s needs, RCT can remain a viable and effective treatment option to preserve natural dentition and enhance quality of life in geriatric patients.
