Endodontic treatment may sometimes fail because morphological features of the tooth adversely affect the treatment protocol. Maxillary second molars are recognized as usually having a single palatal root with a single palatal canal. The incidence of second palatal root in the maxillary second molar is very rare. Two cases are presented in this paper describing the endodontic management of a fou...

The idiopathic cases are rare. From the literature, one can perceive the following unanswered questions: (1) Are palatal and middle-ear myoclonus different entities or do they usuall...

OBJECTIVE To (1) evaluate the stability of palatal rugae as landmarks for superimposition of dental casts and (2) establish a three-dimensional superimposition method of maxillary dental casts for analyzing orthodontic tooth movement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of dental casts obtained from 10 patients treated with extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars and placemen...

Introduction Variations in the root and canal morphology are a common occurrence. The clinician should have a thorough knowledge of dental anatomy and its variations in order to achieve successful and predictable outcome with root canal treatment.
