accurate diagnosis of the root canal morphology and anatomy is essential for thorough shaping and cleaning of the entire root canal system and consequent successful treatment. this report describes a case of maxillary second premolar with two roots and three root canals (two mesial and distal palatal canals). the case report underlines the importance of complete knowledge about root canal morph...

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...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal morphology of mandibular first and second molars using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) in northern iranian population and also to indicate the thinnest area around root canals. methods and materials: we evaluated cbct images of 154 first molars and 147 second molars. by evaluating three axial, sagittal and coronal planes of...

to evaluate differences in the root and canal configurations of mandibular permanent anterior incisors and canines in an iranian population by means of cone beam ct (cbct) images.four hundred cbct images of mandibular permanent incisors and canines that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. vertucci's classification was used to evaluate the number of roots, number of root canals, root leng...

Complex and unusual root canal morphology is an often occurring phenomenon. Understanding the unusual root canal morphology contributes to success in endodontic treatment. One such variant root canal morphology is the 'S' shaped or bayonet shaped root canal. This case report discusses endodontic treatment of a maxillary second premolar with an 'S' shaped root canal.

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars (mfm) in a selected iranian population using clearing technique. methods and materials: a total of 150 extracted mfms were cleared. the root canal morphology (including the root numbers and root length) and the anatomy of the root canal system (including is the number and type of canals based on ve...

While most temperate broad-leaved tree species form ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbioses, a few species have arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM). It is not known whether EM and AM tree species differ systematically with respect to fine root morphology, fine root system size and root functioning. In a species-rich temperate mixed forest, we studied the fine root morphology and biomass of three EM and three AM...

Abstract: Human maxillary first molars are usually considered as three-rooted teeth with four root canals for the presence of a second canal in the Mesio Buccal root (MB2). In addition, lateral ramifications and apical delta of the root canal system may frequently occur, increasing the probability of leaving untreated spaces after the root canal therapy. A thorough knowledge of root canal mor...
