What should be done when a ledge is encountered during an endodontic procedure?

Enlarge the canal
Use a larger instrument
Use a smaller instrument and bypass
Discontinue treatment

The correct answer is: Use a smaller instrument and bypass

When a ledge is encountered during an endodontic procedure, it is important to use a smaller instrument and bypass the ledge. This is because trying to enlarge the canal or using a larger instrument can lead to further damage or create a larger ledge, making it even more difficult to bypass. Discontinuing treatment is not recommended as the ledge can still be successfully bypassed and the procedure completed.
