This case report presents an uncommon case of maxillary molar with two palatal root canals and an enamel pearl in the furcation area. The article discusses root canal complexities of maxillary second molars as well as possibility of coexisting anomalies in the region that makes radiographic interpretation difficult and compromises the success of endodontic treatment.

conclusions most extracted maxillary first molars were three rooted and four canals. cbct has relatively high reproducibility and accuracy of distinguishing mb2 canal. results we found 100% of cases with three separated roots, from which 69.23% had four canals including mb2 and 30.77% with three canals. 71.3% of mesiobuccal roots were two canals of type two vertucci and 28.7% type 4 with the me...

The C shaped canal configuration is an anatomic variant most commonly seen in mandibular second molars. The presence of this configuration in a single rooted maxillary permanent first molar is rare. This case report describes the endodontic management of a single rooted infected maxillary first molar having a c shaped root canal configuration. Endodontic Treatment of Single Rooted Maxillary Fir...

The mesiobuccal root of the maxillary molars is well known to pose a hindrance during endodontic therapy. Presented here is a case of a maxillary left second molar where three canals were located in its mesiobuccal root with the use of visual and diagnostic aids. Difficulties encountered during the process of unveiling the tooth's internal anatomy were discussed. The dilemmas encountered pertai...

The most difficult maxillary teeth for endodontic treatment are the maxillary first molars (MFM) due to their complex root canal anatomy. The presence of two roots and C-shaped canals in MFMs has been reported in rare cases. The present case reports root canal treatment of MFM with two roots, where the palatal and buccal roots were joined together in a C-shaped configuration.

Conventional (both chemical and digital) radiography renders a three-dimensional (3-D) anatomical structure two dimensionally with inherit distortions. This limitation posts a steep learning curve for novice operators to interpret information from the resulting images. In many incidences, it becomes a matter of guesswork even to the experienced user, like the relationship of the maxillary molar...

A patient with multiple anomalies of the maxillary teeth, including shovel-shaped incisors, talon cusp, bilateral dens invaginatus and bilateral peg-shaped supernumerary incisors is reported. The patient also exhibited Carabelli's cusp on both maxillary first molars. No developmental syndrome was identified. This very unusual combination of anomalies has not been reported previously.

introduction: this study aimed to compare the thickness of the mesiobuccal furcal canal walls of first and second maxillary molars. materials and methods: this study was performed on total of 30 first and second extracted molar teeth (15 each). the mesiobuccal roots of each tooth were separated at the cement-enamel junction (cej) level and embedded in acrylic resin. the embedded roots were cut ...

2. "The majority of maxillary first molars had four root canals (59.5%), while only 40.5% had three root canals." 60% versus 40% is not such difference to use "only".We have corrected this sentence. The new sentence is as follows: “The majority of maxillary first molars had four root canals (59.5%), while 40.5% had three root canals.” 3. "There are differences in the number and configuration of...

Relapse after orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is an undesirable outcome that involves a number of factors. This study investigated the remodelling of the alveolar bone and related periodontal structures during orthodontic relapse in rat molars. The maxillary right first molars of 35 Wistar rats were moved mesially by a fixed orthodontic appliance for 10 days and the contralateral molars served...
