Spiral Computed Tomographic Evaluation and Endodontic Management of a Mandibular Second Molar with Four Roots. A Case Report and Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vast majority of mandibular second molars have two roots with three root canals; however, variations in molar root canal anatomy are not uncommon. To the best of our knowledge, four rooted mandibular second molar with three mesial roots and one distal root has never been reported. Herein, we present the endodontic management of a four rooted mandibular second molar tooth, diagnosed with the assistance of spiral computed tomography (SCT) with a brief review of literature.

Mandibular second molar exhibiting a unique “Y-” and “J-” “shaped” root canal anatomy diagnosed using cone-beam computed tomographic scanning: A case report
This article aims to report a unique case with aberrant root canal anatomy exhibiting "Y-" and "J"-shaped canal pattern in a mandibular second molar. Anatomic complexities may pose challenges for endodontic treatment. Before performing endodontic treatment, the clinician should be aware of the internal anatomy of the tooth being treated and should recognize anatomic aberrations if present. Pres...
متن کاملEndodontic Management of a Mandibular First Molar with Four Canals in a Distal Root by Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: a Case Report
BACKGROUND Aberrations in the root canal anatomy are clinically challenging for clinicians. Mandibular first molars usually have 2 roots and 3 or 4 canals, but various combinations may exist. A distal root with three canals is rare and its incidence in literature is about 0.2 - 3%. As a diagnostic tool, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) may be a better choice for diagnosis of extra roots or ...
متن کاملCase Report: Permanent Maxillary First Molar with Two Roots and Two Canals: A Rare Case Report
Abstract: Human maxillary first molars are usually considered as three-rooted teeth with four root canals for the presence of a second canal in the Mesio Buccal root (MB2). In addition, lateral ramifications and apical delta of the root canal system may frequently occur, increasing the probability of leaving untreated spaces after the root canal therapy. A thorough knowledge of root canal mor...
متن کاملMandibular Second Premolar with Three Roots: A Case Report
Human mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having an extremely complex root and root canal morphology. The incidence of multiple roots and canals in mandibular second premolars is lower than those in mandibular first premolars. Mandibular second premolars with three root canals and separate foramina are very rare. In this case report, endodontic management of a three-rooted mandi...
