LEAST important factor for referring tooth #14 RCT to a specialist:

  1. Dilacerated roots
  2. Calcified canals
  3. Inability to obtain profound anesthesia
  4. Mesial inclination of the tooth
  5. Limited mouth opening
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Mesial inclination of the tooth

Mesial inclination of maxillary molars actually IMPROVES endodontic access by tipping the tooth toward the operator. All other factors are legitimate referral indications: dilacerated roots increase perforation risk; calcified canals increase instrument separation risk.
