The maxillary first molar usually has single palatal root. Incidence rate of maxillary first molar with two palatal roots is especially rare. We reported a case of young maxillary first molar with two palatal roots in this article. Anatomic characteristic of permanent maxillary molar is generally described as a group of teeth with three roots, one palatal and two buccalbut the root canal system...

AIM To describe the successful non-surgical endodontic management of a permanent maxillary lateral incisor tooth with four root canals. SUMMARY Aberrant morphology of root canals can occur in any tooth, including maxillary lateral incisors. In the presented case, clinical examination and radiographs clearly depicted the presence of four root canals in a right maxillary lateral incisor. The di...

background. maximum sealing ability or adhesion of endodontic sealers can be achieved after an effective removal of smear layer. endodontic irrigants assist in adequate removal of smear layer and thus improve the retention mechanism. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different root canal irrigating solutions (5.25% naocl followed by 17% edta and qmix) on the apical sealing...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal morphology of mandibular first molars in a Chinese population by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: In this study, CBCT images of 900 mandibular first molars were evaluated for the following details: (1) number of roots, (2) number of apical foramina, (3) frequency distribution of root canal configurations define...

maxillary second molar with two palatal roots is a rare dental anatomy. the diagnosis and treatment of exceeded root may create challenge for clinicians. the authors discuss the retreatment of a maxillary second molar in which exceeded root was undiagnosed in previous treatment. the case report underlines the importance of complete knowledge about root canal morphology which achieved by careful...

background and aims . a perfect endodontic treatment necessitates proper understanding of the morphology of canal and pulpal variations. this in vitro study was conducted to demonstrate the internal anatomy of mandibular canine teeth in an iranian population. materials and methods . the samples consisted of 100 extracted mandibular permanent canines. the roots of the teeth were molded in acryli...

INTRODUCTION We investigated the root canal configuration of maxillary premolars in a Spanish population by using cone-beam computed tomography. METHODS Images of 804 maxillary first and second premolars were obtained from 620 patients who underwent cone-beam computed tomography scanning during preoperative assessment (before implant surgery, orthodontic treatment, dentoalveolar trauma diagno...
