introduction: objective: this study aimed to assess the possible variations in root canal anatomy and topography of the apices of first and second maxillary molars. materials and methods: a total of 67 first and second maxillary permanent molars were collected. access cavity was prepared and 2% methylene blue was injected. the teeth were demineralized by 5% nitric acid and cleared with methyl s...

Removal of a maxillary third molar is a common dental procedure, and oral surgeons rarely experience accidental displacement of a maxillary impacted third molar into the maxillary sinus as a complication of this procedure. In the case in which such displacement occurs, the molar is removed via a transantral (Caldwell-Luc) approach through bone removal or window osteotomy of the anterior wall of...

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...

introduction: this study was carried out to compare the capability of k-files with mtwo rotary file in terms of negotiation as well as depth of penetration in second mesiobuccal (mb2) canal of maxillary first molar. materials and methods: a total of 32 mb2 canal of maxillary first molars having different root curvatures (not more than 30 degree) and root lengths were selected and then detected ...

thorough knowledge of the morphology and internal anatomy of the root canal system is essential, because it determines the successful outcome of endodontic treatment. the main goal of endodontic treatment is to prevent apical periodontitis and/or to promote the healing of periapical lesion. presence of two canals or roots on the palatal side of the first maxillary molar has rarely been reported...

conclusions it was observed that the success and survival rate of maxillary molar immediate implant was relatively high and similar to those of conventional delayed implants. results immediate implants were most frequently used for incisor and premolar sites and there is very little data available on immediate implantation in the molar area. in this research, we reviewed all the existing papers...

introduction: comparison of the relationships and distance between maxillary root tips and   the maxillary sinus floor using oral panoramic in the dolichocephalic and brachycephalic compared to mesocephalic individuals. methods: oral panoramic images from 300 individuals were analyzed and the relationships and distance between the maxillary root tips and the sinus floor was assessed by qualitat...

The purpose of this study was to investigate immediate changes in the mandibular dentition after maxillary molar distalization using headgear in non-growing patients. Sixteen patients (mean age, 18.9 ± 2.0 years) with Class II molar relationship and crowding were included in the present study. To correct the molar relationship, headgear was used for maxillary molar distalization. Cone-beam comp...
