thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. it is not very common, some times the canal might be blocked by calcification of the canals. as the age advances the calcification of the canal increases. if the canal is partially calcified it can be tried to to clean and fill but if it is completely calcified it cannot be filled. nothing to worry. you can get the canals filled which are not calcified and go ahead with the treatment. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
