The success of endodontic therapy is attributed to complete arbitration of the bound entities concealed within the complexity and absolute disinfection of the root canal system, thus, deeming it mandatory to effectively negotiate and overcome the challenges posed by obstruction, either iatrogenic or anatomic. To achieve this, considerable depth of knowledge and expertise with reference to variations in root canal morphology and clinical mishap management is substantially as important as developing fine observation skills in conjunction with an appropriate armamentarium and a keen sense of determination, thereby enhancing one’s clinical acumen by several folds. In the present case, following rubber dam isolation, the temporary restoration was removed, and the remaining carious dentin was excavated. Endodontic access cavity was refined and explored with a DG-16 probe, following which three separate canal orifices were identified in the pulp chamber floor (mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, and distal). On further observation under a surgical operating microscope and continuous exploration with the DG-16 probe, a fourth canal was found in the mesial aspect of the tooth (middle mesial). With instrumentation, it was confirmed that a fractured object was indeed present at the apical third of the mesiolingual root of tooth 38. Bypassing of the fractured fragment was initiated with a size 10 SS K-file coupled with copious irrigation with 3% sodium hypochlorite. In the present case report, four distinct canals comprising 3 mesial and 1 distal canal were recognized, and the fractured instrument in one of the canals was bypassed successfully.

In root canal treatment, the foundation on which all surgical procedures are performed is a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the pulp chamber and the root canal system. The endodontic triad comprises biomechanical preparation, microbial control and complete obturation of the root canal space. Knowledge of the pulp chamber floor anatomy is important in locating the numbers and orifices of root canals present within the tooth being root canal treated. This is particularly important while treating teeth that are heavily restored, mal-positioned, or calcified. The current review attempts to explain the complex anatomy of the pulp chamber floor and its significance in root canal treatment. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To allow the location of all root canal orifices in the pulp chamber and to perform successful root canal treatment, knowledge of pulp chamber floor anatomy is essential. The clinician should consider that, as the external morphology of the tooth varies in individuals, so does the internal morphology.

Morfologi saluran akar gigi molar mandibula ketiga memiliki variasi yang lebih kompleks dibandingkan gigi molar lainnya.   Pada gigi molar ketiga sering dilakukan pencabutan, namun dalam keadaan tertentu gigi molar ketiga dapat dipertahankan. Perawatan saluran akar satu kunjungan merupakan pilihan untuk terapi kasus ini. Tujuan laporan kasus ini untuk memperlihatkan keberhasilan dari perawatan saluran akar satu kunjungan pada gigi molar ketiga nekrosis pulpa disertai restorasi resin komposit dengan pasak tapered self theading. Pasien wanita 20 tahun datang ke RSGM Prof Soedomo FKG UGM dengan keluhan sakit saat pengunyahan pada gigi molar ketiga dan positif pada perkusi. Gambaran radiografis menunjukkan restorasi yang tidak sempurna, terdapat celah antara kavitas dengan restorasi. Rencana perawatan pada kasus ini, perawatan saluran akar satu kunjungan dan resin komposit dengan pasak tapered self threading sebagai restorasi akhir. Kesimpulan dari perawatan saluran akar satu kunjungan memiliki rekontaminasi mikroorganisme yang lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan multi kunjungan sehingga menjamin keberhasilan perawatannya. Restorasi resin komposit secara direkdengan pasak tapered self threadingmerupakan restorasi alternatif pasca perawatan endodontikkarena lebih cepat dan kuat.Composite Resin Restoration Using Tapered Self Threading Poston Left Mandibular Third Molar. Root canal morphology of mandibular third molar has more complex variation than the other molars. In third molar, the extraction teeth are often executed; however, the third molar can be maintained in other conditions. One visit root canal treatment is a therapy option for this case. The purpose of this case report is to show the success of one visit root canal treatment in third molar with pulp necrosis by restoring the composite resin through tapered self-treading post. A 20 year-old female patient who came to the Prof Soedomo RSGM, FKG UGM complained about the pain when chewing food on her third molar and positive in percussion. The radiographs showed that there was an incomplete restoration. There was a gap between cavities with restoration. The treatment plan for this case was one visit root canal treatment and composite resin with tapered self-threading post as final restoration. From the case, it can concluded that one visit root canal treatment results in a smaller chance for microorganism recontamination than the multi-visit in order to ensure the success of the treatment. Direct composite resin restoration with tapered self-threading dowel is an alternative restoration after endodontic treatment because it works out faster and more retentive.

Effective endodontic treatment relies on a strong understanding of root canal anatomy, specific evaluation of the pulp chamber floor, critical interpretation of radiograph, and chemo-mechanical planning accompanied by three-dimensional obturation of root canal system. The risk of extra root /canal should be considered even in teeth with a small incidence of irregular root canal morphology. Mandibular premolars have acquired the distinction for having aberrant anatomy. This article reports and discusses the successful endodontic management of mandibular first premolar with one canal bifurcating into two canals.

AIM: To analyse the root canal morphology of mandibular third molars using clearing technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ninety permanent extracted mandibular third molar teeth were collected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Teeth were then decalcified and were made transparent Methylene Blue Dye was injected to color the pulp space. These teeth were then observed under sterio Microscope and root canal systems were identified according to Vertucci's Classification. RESULTS: The most common anatomical morphology found was having two roots. Overall type I Vertucci’s configuration was the most common pattern of canals. Other canal patterns that were found included type II, III, IV and V. In this study no canal of type VI, VII or VIII were found. CONCLUSION: The morphological variations in root patterns and canal configuration of mandibular third molar should be given consideration for successful endodontic treatment.

Background: There are a few studies about the evaluation of maxillary first premolars internal structure with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The aim of this study was to assess morphological features of the pulp chamber in maxillary first premolar teeth using micro- CT. Methods: Extracted 15 maxillary first premolar teeth were selected from the patients who were in different age groups. The distance between the pulp orifices, the diameter of the pulp and the width of the pulp chamber floor were measured on the micro-CT images with the slice thickness of 13.6 µm. The number of root canal orifices and the presence of isthmus were evaluated. Results: The mean diameter of orifices was 0.73 mm on the buccal side while it was 0.61 mm on palatinal side. The mean distance between pulp orifices was 2.84 mm. The mean angle between pulp orifices was -21.53°. The mean height of pulp orifices on the buccal side was 4.32 mm while the mean height of pulp orifices on the palatinal side was 3.56 mm. The most observed shape of root canal orifices was flattened ribbon. No isthmus was found in specimens. Conclusion: Minor anatomical structures can be evaluated in more detail with micro-CT. The observation of the pulp cavity was analyzed using micro-CT.

The complex root canal system of maxillary second premolars shows variations among different populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal morphology of second maxillary premolars in the romanian population. The number of roots, root canals and the root canal configuration were investigated using radiographs in both buccal-oral and mesio-distal incidence. They were categorized using Weine’s classifi cation. Among the 480 teeth, 90.83% had one root and 66.67% one root canal. The frequency of secondary maxillary premolars with two root canals (33.12%) shouldn’t be underestimated. Knowing the variations of the internal root canal morphology of maxillary second premolars in a certain population can lead the clinician to a better approach of the endodontic treatment.
