Endodontic Management of C Shaped canal configuration in mandibular second molars: A report for two cases
نویسنده
چکیده
Unusual canal morphologies hamper the success rate of endodont ic t reatment. C shaped canal configurations are the most commonly faced anatomic variations. Inability to identify and debride the C shaped canal may lead to endodontic failure. Presence of a C shaped canal presents a great challenge to the dentist. The presence of transverse anastomoses, lateral canals and apical deltas make it difficult to clean and seal the root canal in these teeth. Proper diagnosis and identification of canal variations using the latest diagnostic aids such as CBCT, microscopes and magnifying loupes help in better identification and management of C shaped canals. This paper reports 2 cases of C shaped canals which were diagnosed and managed successfully by endoactivator and SAF.
