Location, thorough debridement and disinfection and three-dimensional obturation of all the canals in the root of a diseased tooth normally ensure success of the endodontic therapy. Presented is the case of nonsurgical endodontic therapy of mandibular second premolar with aberrant root canal morphology. Keywords: Mandibular second premolar, aberrant root canal morphology, endodontic success.

This study aimed to investigate variations in the root canal morphology of maxillary second premolar (MSP) teeth using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Sixty (N = 60) human extracted MSPs were collected and prepared for micro-CT scanning. The duration for scanning a single sample ranged between 30 and 40 min and a three-dimensional (3-D) image was obtained for all the MSPs. The images were evaluated by a single observer who recorded the canal morphology type, number of roots, canal orifices, apical foramina(s), apical delta(s), and accessory canals. The root canal configuration was categorized in agreement with Vertucci’s classification, and any configuration not in agreement with Vertucci’s classification was reported as an “additional canal configuration”. Descriptive statistics (such as mean percentages) were calculated using SPSS software. The most common types agreeing with Vertucci’s classification (in order of highest to lowest incidence) were types I, III, V, VII, II, and VI. The teeth also exhibited four additional configurations that were different from Vertucci’s classification: types 2-3, 1-2-3, 2-1-2-1, and 1-2-1-3. A single root was found in 96.7% and the majority of the samples demonstrated two canals (73.3%). Further, 80% of the teeth showed one canal orifice. The number of apical foramina’s in the teeth was variable, with 56.7% having solitary apical foramen. The accessory canal was found in 33.3%, and apical delta was found in only 20% of the samples. Variable morphology of the MSPs was detected in our study. The canal configuration most prevalent was type 1; however, the results also revealed some additional canal types.

ABSTRACT Tooth resorption is a condition associated with either a physiologic or a pathologic process resulting in a loss of dentin, cementum, and/or bone. Inflammatory process is initiated when the predentin or precemental layer of the tooth is damaged. Resorption can either be external or internal in form. In order to control the tooth resorption, it is necessary to treat the root canal by removing all the pulp tissue. Due to varied root canal morphology, root canal treatment poses a challenge for the clinician. In such cases a combination of conventional lateral compaction and thermoplasticized gutta percha can enable the three-dimensional obturation of the canal space. This case report describes a nonsurgical mode of management of a tooth having internal and external (surface) resorption. How to cite this article Anilkumar A, Nair KR, Nazar F, Rajendran R.

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.

Background: The internal anatomy is a complex system and root canal morphology varies between teeth, especially in maxillary second premolars. Objective: The purpose of this present study is to identify the variations in root and root canal morphology of the upper second premolar. Methods: A retrospective study on 197 maxillary second premolars, which have had an endodontic treatment in Ajman University in the Academic Year 2018/2019. Intraoral periapical (IOPA) radiograph was reviewed for identifying the number of root canals. Results: The incidence of two canals in the maxillary second premolars was very high 78.7%, and the internal anatomy is complex and highly variable. Conclusion: A straightforward message to the clinicians to be careful in their evaluation and to take care whenever an upper maxillary second premolar is to be treated endodontically.

Success of endodontic therapy depends on the proper identification of all the canals, thorough chemo-mechanical preparation followed by three dimensional obturation with fluid tight seal. Failure of any of these steps may occur due to unusual tooth morphology. Proper knowledge of root canal anatomy is a basic prerequisite for the endodontic treatment successful. Mandibular molars may have an additional root located lingually (radix entomolaris) or buccally (radix paramolaris). Awareness and understanding of the presence of unusual external and internal root canal morphology contributes to the successful outcome of the root canal treatment.Bangladesh Journal of Dental Research and Education Vol.5(2) 2015: 66-69
