Anatomic and Diagnostic Challenges of C-Shaped Root Canal System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Successful root canal treatment depends on the thorough management of the canal anatomy. The use of periapical radiographs is essential to identify and monitor the canal's morphological variations. The C-shaped single canaled man-dibular 2nd molar probably requires a different regimen of treatment from the two rooted, three canaled version, as it is rare. Because of the importance of its true diagnosis and treatment, a comprehensive review of published information and investigations about it in addition to approaches for its treatment is necessary. In this article, a detailed review and three case reports with different C-shaped canal configurations have been described which were successfully negotiated, pre-pared and obturated.

Morphology and Prevalence of C-shaped Canal in Mandibular Second Molars in a Population in North of Iran
Background and purpose: In order to achieve a successful root canal treatment, knowledge on root canal morphology and anatomy is essential. This study investigated the prevalence and morphology of the C- shaped canal in the mandibular second molar. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, we used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 260 patients obtained from a radiology...
متن کاملManagement of Dilacerated and S-shaped Root Canals - An Endodontist's Challenge.
The unique morphology of dilacerated and S-shaped root canals often pose utmost challenges in their endodontic management. Common causes of failures in such cases are primarily related to procedural errors such as ledges, fractured instruments, canal blockages, zip and elbow creations. Knowledge of dental anatomy and its variations is essential for the success of endodontic treatment. A clinici...
متن کاملA rare occurrence of bilateral C-shaped roots in mandibular first and second premolars diagnosed with the aid of spiral computed tomography
The C-shaped canal system is an anatomical variation mostly seen in mandibular second molars, although it can also occur in maxillary and other mandibular molars. Such variation in the root canal anatomy is uncommon in mandibular first premolars and very rare in mandibular second premolars. The C-shaped canal is so named for the cross-sectional morphology of the root and root canal. The main an...
متن کاملEndodontic management of C-shaped root canal system of mandibular first molar by using a modified technique of self-adjusting file system.
AIM C-shaped canal system is a seldom-found root canal anatomy which displays a challenge in all stages of endodontic treatment. According to the literature, this type of canal morphology is not a common finding in the mandibular first molar teeth. BACKGROUND This case report presents endodontic management of a mandibular first molar with a C-shaped canal system. CASE REPORT Root canal syst...
متن کاملThe challenge of C-shaped canal systems: a comparative study of the self-adjusting file and ProTaper.
INTRODUCTION C-shaped canals are anatomic features that present the clinician with both diagnostic and operational challenges. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the Self-Adjusting File (SAF; ReDent, Ra'anana, Israel) in shaping C-shaped canals with that of the rotary ProTaper file system (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). METHODS Sixteen mandibular second molars...
