C-shaped palatal canal in maxillary first molar with two palatal canals evaluated with cone – beam computed tomography

چکیده
Introduction: The aim of this article was to emphasize the importance of variations in root canal anatomy. Methods: This case report presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with c-shaped palatal canal bifurcating into two canals at the middle third and exiting from a single apical foramen. The canal morphology was confirmed with the aid of cone beam computerized tomography. Results: CBCT axial images showed that the palatal root had a Vertucci type III canal pattern. Conclusion: This report describes and discusses the variation in canal morphology of maxillary first molar and the use of latest adjuncts in successfully diagnosing and negotiating them.

Endodontic Management of a Maxillary First Molar with Two Palatal Canals and a Single Buccal Canal: A Case Report
Thorough knowledge of root canal morphology is essential for the endodontic therapy. There are rare variations in canal number and configuration in maxillary molars, which could affect treatment outcome. This paper presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with two palatal canals in one root (Vertucci type IV) and a single buccal canal. In this paper cone-beam computed tomog...
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...

متن کاملEndodontic management of a maxillary first molar with three roots and seven root canals with the aid of cone-beam computed tomography
Variation in root canal morphology, especially in maxillary first molar presents a constant challenge for a clinician in their detection and management. This case report describes the successful root canal treatment of a three rooted right maxillary first molar presenting with three canals each in the mesiobuccal and distobuccal roots and one canal in the palatal root. The clinical detection of...

OBJECTIVES The success of endodontic treatment is based on cleaning and shaping of the root canals. The root canals have complex morphology and wide individual variations. The objective of this study was to analyze root canals morphology and existence of extra canals in maxillary molars in Saudi subpopulation. METHODS Freshly extracted maxillary first molars (n=100) were included in this stud...
