Root Canal Treatment of a Mandibular Second Molar with a Reverse Anatomy CASE REPORT Root Canal Treatment of a Mandibular Second Molar with a Reverse Anatomy

چکیده
The complex anatomy of the root canal system takes up many configurations and variations are not uncommon. A clinician should be aware of the normal, so as to recognize these aberrations in the anatomy. Successful root canal therapy is achieved by thorough shaping and cleaning of the root canal system followed by obturation of the radicular space. The aim of the present article is to describe a case of a mandibular second molar with an unusual anatomy of having a single mesial canal and two distal canals which is in reverse to usually seen, encountered during routine endodontic treatment. The clinician should always keep in mind that anatomic aberrations can occur in any tooth and the recognition of these is achieved by thorough examination of the internal anatomy of the tooth and its radiographs.

The main objective of endodontic therapy is the thorough mechanical and chemical cleansing of the entire root canal system and its complete obturation with an inert filling material. Failure to find and fill a canal contributes toward the failure of endodontic therapy .The root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars is complex. Studies of the morphologic structure of root canal systems hav...

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...

Introdouction: Variations in root canal morphology pose a challenge for successful endodontic treatment. The root canal anatomy of the maxillary first molar has been often described as three roots with four canals (two mesiobuccal, one distobuccal, and one palatal). The occurrence of two palatal canals in one palatal root is quite rare. This report represents the case of a maxillary first molar...

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...
