Anatomical variations of the root canal system of mandibular molars are common and often present challenges for endodontic treatment. In some cases, an additional root is located in the distolingual, radix entomolaris (RE), or more rarely in the buccal, radix paramolaris (RP). This case report illustrates rare nonsurgical retreatment of the complex root canal morphology of a RP and demonstrates the utility of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D printing in managing such a case. Underscored is the need for clinicians to understand the possible variations of root canal morphology of mandibular molars and the role CBCT imaging can play in addition to periapical radiographs in order to successfully treat a tooth with radix paramolaris.

A thorough knowledge and understanding of the root canal morphology including the variations is important for the successful outcome of endodontic treatment. The success of an endodontic treatment depends on the eradication of microbes from the root-canal system and prevention of re-infection [1] . The variations in mandibular first molar involves the number of roots, the number of root canals, and morphology. Radix entomolaris and the radix paramolaris are the additional root located lingually and buccally respectively [2] . This case report discusses endodontic treatment of a mandibular first molar with a radix entomolaris and pulp stone.

A comprehensive knowledge of the root canal morphology and its variations is a basic requisite for the success of the endodontic treatment. Mandibular molars may present a third or additional root, which if located lingually is called radix entomolaris or bucally is referred as radix paramolaris. This case report shows an endodontic retreatment of a radix entomolaris and details some variations in the approach to guarantee a successful terapy.

ABSTRACT The endodontic treatment of maxillary molar with an aberrant root canal morphology can be diagnostically and technically challenging.1 Unusual root canal morphology in multirooted teeth is a constant challenge for diagnosis and successful endodontic treatment. Presence of extra canals, lateral canals, deltas is commonly encountered.2 This case report is presented to illustrate and describe the endodontic treatment of maxillary first molar with an unusual morphological variation of palatal root. The palatal root had two canals that appeared to unite in the apical third of the canal. How to cite this article Prabha MV, Sinha S, Kumar SVK, Haragopal S. Maxillary Molar with Two Palatal Canals.

Comprehensive understanding of variations in the root canal morphology of a maxillary molar is useful for performing successful endodontic treatment in such cases. This case report describes endodontic management of a case with such aberrant root canal morphology of a maxillary second molar having a single root and single canal.

ABSTRACT Aim C-shaped canal system is a seldom-found root canal anatomy which displays a challenge in all stages of endodontic treatment. According to the literature, this type of canal morphology is not a common finding in the mandibular first molar teeth. Background This case report presents endodontic management of a mandibular first molar with a C-shaped canal system. Case report Root canal system was cleaned and shaped by nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments combined with selfadjusting file (SAF). Obturation was performed using warm, vertical condensation combined with the injection of warm gutta-percha. Follow-up examination 12 months later showed that the tooth was asymptomatic. The radiological findings presented no signs of periapical pathology. Clinical significance The clinician must be aware of the occurence and complexity of C-shaped canals in mandibular first molar teeth to perform a successful root canal treatment. The supplementary use of SAF after application of rotary instruments in C-shaped root canals might be a promising approach in endodontic treatment of this type of canal morphology.

Introduction. Knowledge of root canal morphology is one of the main prerequisites for successful endodontic treatment. We present the case of a patient with multiple canals in lower anterior teeth which were treated endodontically. Case Report. To a 45-year-old patient endodontic treatment was applied on lower left lateral incisor, lower right central and lateral incisor and lower right canine. These teeth were previously prepared for prosthetic crowns. All involved teeth had two canals which were not visible on the primary radiographs. Gracility of remaining tooth structure and canals and the presence of two canals in each tooth required additional radiographs for verification of multiple canals. Careful biomechanical instrumentation and irrigation with use of lubrication due to narrow canals was performed. The canals were obturated with gutta-percha using lateral compaction technique and Acroseal (Septodont) paste. On the control checkup after eight months, the patient was asymptomatic, while clinical finding was normal. Conclusion. Complexity of presented case was even more significant because these teeth were prepared to support prosthetic superstructure and crowns, and every ?forgotten? canal is an iatrogenic error.

ABSTRACT Aims and objectives To present clinical case report of three mandibular first molar with middle mesial canal of independent and confluent type. Case Report Three patients with chief complaint in mandibular first molars were referred for endodontic treatment. All the three mandibular first molar showed presence of middle mesial canal and, in one case, extra root was observed. With aid of proper diagnostic and radiographic techniques, the endodontic treatment was performed. Conclusion Good knowledge of the potential aberrant canal morphology in mandibular molar will help clinician to successfully recognize and treat these difficult cases. Morphological variations in root canal system anatomy should always be considered at the beginning of treatment. Once endodontic treatment has been initiated, proper access cavity preparation is a basic prerequisite for the investigation and successful detection of all root canal orifices. Every effort should be made to find and treat all canals for successful clinical results. Better illumination and magnification under microscope help in locating hidden canals.
