ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate and compare the accuracy of radiographic, visual, dye and magnification method in detection of second mesiobuccal (MB2) canal in maxillary first molar. Materials and methods One hundred males and females patients in age group of 20 to 45 years with maxillary first molar teeth indicated for root canal treatment were selected for the study. The presence of MB2 canal in maxillary first molar was observed by four independent observers using radiographic, visual, dye, magnification diagnostic aids. Results The study showed that there was a large difference in detecting MB2 canal in maxillary first molar when radiographic was compared with visual method and magnification method (i.e., p < 0.01). Whereas there was a nonsignificant difference when radiographic and dye method were compared (i.e., p > 0.05). Conclusion It was concluded that the incidence of MB2 canal in mesiobuccal roots of permanent maxillary first molars was detected most using magnification method, i.e., 87%. Accuracy of radiographic method was found to be least, i.e., 19%. How to cite this article Mulay S, Kadam G, Jain H.

There are few researches in literature that mention the use of the apex locator in deciduous teeth and working length is obtained through radiographies. Objective: The purpose of this research was to compare the radiographic and the electronic method to obtain the working length in deciduous molars. Material andmethods: Twelve molar teeth were used. The specimens in the visual method had their root length measured through the passive insertion of a 10 K-file with a silicone stop within root canal until its tip was seen at the apical foramen. The working length was measured through radiographs or using the apex locator Root ZX II. The mean between the examiners was submitted to the variance analysis (ANOVA). Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the visual method and the radiographic method (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the working length measurements in visual method and those obtained with the apex locator (p = 0.1319). Conclusion: The apex locator is indicated as a clinical implementation for endodontic treatment in primary teeth.

ABSTRACT Introduction The success of endodontic therapy depends upon the ability of the clinician to locate, clean, shape and completely obturate all the root canal systems present in a tooth. In the recent times number of additional canals vs traditional canals has been very striking and pointing toward a greater degree of variation in the root canal morphology which needs to studied, understood and born in mind during practice so as to enhance the success. Introduction of surgical operating microscope is a major breakthrough in enhancement of vision in endodontics which not only gives required magnification but also coaxial illumination and video output. These facilities should be of a great help in location of small otherwise difficult to locate accessory canals. Materials and methods This in vivo study was planned to study variations in the canal anatomy of maxillary and mandibular first molar using surgical operating microscope using 200 first molar teeth, 100 maxillary and 100 mandibular groups, each group to be divided into 50 males and 50 female subgroups. After access opening chambers were cleaned, dried and observed and imaged under the microscope. Results The observations were recorded and incidences of variations in anatomy were analyzed subjecting the same to SPSS version 16.0. Conclusion It was observed that surgical operating microscope enhances clinician's ability to locate additional canals in the teeth. How to cite this article Abrar BAS, Pawar MG.
