Maxillary first molar endodontic management with seven root canals diagnosed using CBCT: A case study

The main objective of this case study is to present an unusual maxillary first molar root canal configuration with seven canals; three mesiobuccal, two distobuccal and palatal canals diagnosed during treatment procedure confirmed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography. A 26-year-old man with the chief complaint spontaneous pain in his left posterior maxilla was referred general dentist. From the clinical radiographic results, a diagnosis apical periodontitis made patient was recommended for endodontic care. CBCT axial images showed that and distobuccal roots have type IV II pattern Vertucci, respectively, while mesiobuccal root XV configuration Sert Bayirli. Canals been successfully treated with rotary files filled using single-cone technique. In endodontically difficult situations, use CBCT imaging will promote deeper understanding intricate anatomy, which essentially helps the clinician more effectively explore system clean, shape, obturate it.
