Guided endodontics improves access accuracy, but its success depends on precise guide design, proper drill\u2013sleeve alignment, and material stability. When these factors are compromised, deviations and unsuccessful canal location may occur. The present clinical case reports the management of a severely obliterated root canal in a maxillary lateral incisor in which static\u2010guided endodontic failed to achieve canal localization, emphasizing the technical limitations and the successful conventional approach. A 69\u2010year\u2010old female patient presented with a maxillary lateral incisor exhibiting severe PCO. Cone\u2010beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed obliteration of the cervical and middle thirds of the root canal. Despite careful planning and the use of a static endodontic guide, canal localization failed after repeated drill deviations toward the palatal aspect. Investigation revealed palatal wear of the resin template adjacent to the metallic sleeve, and the mismatch between the drill\u2032s active length and the guide sleeve\u2032s dimensions may have contributed to the observed deviation. The canal was successfully localized under operating\u2010microscope magnification using ultrasonic tips, guided by anatomical information obtained from postoperative CBCT imaging. Cleaning, shaping, and obturation were completed without complications. After 3 years, the patient remains asymptomatic, with radiographic signs of satisfactory healing. This case reinforces that guided endodontics\u2014although valuable\u2014requires meticulous planning, precise drill\u2010sleeve compatibility, and strict guide validation. Clinicians must remain proficient in conventional techniques for cases in which guided access fails.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crid\/5560110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T12:43:02Z","timestamp":1790685782000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Failure
