Endodontic Management of Maxillary Second Molars Fused with Paramolar Tubercles Diagnosed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography - Two Case Reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of nonsurgical endodontic treatment is to eliminate micro-organisms from the root canal system. Adequate knowledge of the root canal morphology and its complexities is essential to render successful endodontic treatment. Variations in tooth form and morphology may be found in the form of anomalous cusps in the crown region or additional roots. In permanent molars, changes in the crown morphology may occur either in the form of an additional tooth (paramolar) or supernumerary cusp termed as "paramolar tubercle".

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...

The case reports present the endodontic management of two maxillary first molars with six canals. The diagnosis of morphology of multiple canal systems was identified under magnification of the dental operating microscope and was confirmed with the help of cone beam computed tomography. This paper discusses the variations in the canal morphology and the use of the latest adjuncts in successfull...

Background: Knowledge of variations in dental anatomy and canal morphology plays a key role in the success of endodontic therapy. Case presentation: This report presents a patient who had unusual tooth morphology, including the bilateral existence of 11 maxillary and mandibular first, second and third molars with a single root and a single canal. The patient was diagnosed using cone-beam comput...
متن کاملMidbuccal canals of maxillary molars evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography: endodontic management of two cases.
Maxillary molars present variable root canal and root morphologies. This report describes the endodontic management of two cases of midbuccal canals found in maxillary molars. Midbuccal canals were present in a maxillary first molar with a single buccal root (Case 1), and in a maxillary second molar with three buccal roots (Case 2). An assessment of the internal configuration of these teeth was...
