To open a calcified root canal, a dentist typically starts by using a dental microscope for enhanced visibility. They may employ ultrasonic instruments or specialized rotary files to carefully locate and negotiate the canal while applying gentle pressure.

Throughout the process, continuous radiographic monitoring can help ensure proper navigation without damaging surrounding structures.
