How to manage a severely calcified canal in a 45-year-old patient?

0
I am treating a maxillary first premolar. The chamber is accessible, but the buccal canal is completely calcified after 5mm. I am using size 8 C-Pilot files with EDTA but unable to progress. Any tips on navigation or specific burs to use without causing perforation? I have attached the pre-operative X-ray.

I am looking for clinical tips or reliable methodologies on accurately determining and verifying the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) for a patient requiring a complete fixed full-mouth rehabilitation. What are your preferred clinical markers or diagnostic steps to ensure long-term stability and patient comfort?

What are your go-to design protocols for managing a Kennedy Class I maxilla or mandible to prevent excessive torque on the primary abutment teeth? I am specifically interested in your experiences combining stress-releasing clasps (like RPI or RPA systems) with altered cast impression techniques to optimize tissue support.
