Anatomic variations in root canal morphology have become easier to detect with the rapid advancements in clinical and diagnostic aids. Also an increased awareness of unusual anatomic morphology and a better understanding of the root canal system guides the clinician in diagnosis and treatment of such variations in order to achieve a successful endodontic outcome. Mesiobuccal root of first maxil...

Thorough understanding of the anatomic and internal morphology of a root canal system is absolutely essential for the success of endodontic treatment. Since permanent maxillary first molars have shown variation in internal anatomy, morphology, this tooth has been reviewed extensively. Presence of two canals in a two-rooted maxillary first molar has rarely been reported in studies describing too...

Variations in the dental anatomy are found in all teeth. Understanding root canal morphology is one of the most important steps in successful root canal treatment. Thus, during the diagnosis and treatment phases of maxillary molars, a clinician must be aware that anatomical variations exist. The purpose of this study is to present a clinical case of a maxillary first molar having three mesiobuc...

Forty two single-rooted teeth, prepared with the Mtwo system, were divided into three groups based on the filling method: control, "Single-cone" (n = 20) (Mtwo gutta-percha single-cone tapered according to the diameter, length and conicity of the preparation) and "Combined system" (n = 20) (BeeFill 2in1). The parameters studied were apical leakage, gutta-percha adjustment, number of voids, pres...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisor teeth in the Indian subpopulation with the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL/METHODS CBCT images of 200 patients with 800 permanent mandibular incisors, fulfilling necessary inclusion criteria and aged 18 to 60 years were evaluated. The number of roots, number of root...

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...

INTRODUCTION The main goal of endodontic therapy is to prevent or heal apical periodontitis. However, root canal anatomy might present a clinical challenge directly related to the treatment outcome. The purpose of this study was to review published literature related to root anatomy and root canal configuration of the permanent mandibular first molar. METHODS An exhaustive search was undertak...

Successful endodontic treatment depends on thorough knowledge in root canal morphology, appropriate assessment of pulp chamber floor, critical interpretation of radiograph, and on biomechanical preparation followed by three dimensional obturation of root canal system. The possibility of additional root /canal should be considered even in teeth a low frequency of abnormal root canal anatomy. Man...

An accurate diagnosis of the morphology of the root canal system is a pre-requisite for successful root canal treatment. Frequently, root canals are left untreated because the clinicians fail to identify their presence, particularly in teeth that have anatomical variations or additional root canals. In this report a maxillary lateral incisor with two roots has been described.
