ABSTRACTSuccess in root canal treatment is achieved after thought cleaning and shaping followed by the complete obturation of root canal system. Such treatment may be performed in root canal systems that do not comply with the normal anatomical features described in standard textbooks. This article describes the conventional root canal treatment on an unusual mandibular second molar with four root-canals. (Eur J Dent 2008;2:217-219)

Root Canal System

The mandibular molars are more prone to aberrations of canals. They include bifurcation and trifurcation of canals, fusion of roots, extreme canal curvatures and c-shaped canals which makes it difcult to diagnose and manage. The failure to treat them leads to re-infection and persistence of infection in the tooth. Hence, it is of utmost importance for the clinician to know the morphologic variations. The present case series aims to give a clinical insight of such aberrations. The ten cases presents with mandibular second molar with “c” shaped root canal system, which was diagnosed with Radiovisiography. The cases were treated endodontically and successfully managed

ABSTRACT The complex anatomy of the root canal system takes up many configurations and variations are not uncommon. A clinician should be aware of the normal, so as to recognize these aberrations in the anatomy. Successful root canal therapy is achieved by thorough shaping and cleaning of the root canal system followed by obturation of the radicular space. The aim of the present article is to describe a case of a mandibular second molar with an unusual anatomy of having a single mesial canal and two distal canals which is in reverse to usually seen, encountered during routine endodontic treatment. The clinician should always keep in mind that anatomic aberrations can occur in any tooth and the recognition of these is achieved by thorough examination of the internal anatomy of the tooth and its radiographs.

Potential Impact

ABSTRACT Clinicians are frequently challenged by endodontically treated teeth that have obstructions, such as hard impenetrable pastes, separated instruments, silver points or posts in their root canals. Intracanal separation of endodontic instruments may hinder cleaning and shaping procedures within the root canal system, with a potential impact on the outcome of treatment. Broken instruments usually prevent access to the apex and the prognosis of teeth with broken instruments in the canals may be lower than for normal ones. The prognosis of these cases mainly depends on the preoperative condition of the periapical tissues. For these reasons, an attempt to remove broken instruments should be undertaken in every case. Ultrasonics have often been advocated for the removal of broken instruments because the ultrasonic tips or endosonic files may be used deep in the root canal system. Furthermore, the use of an ultrasonic endodontic device is not restricted by the position of the fragment in the root canal or the tooth involved. This case report elaborates on retrieval of broken instrument lodged in the coronal third of the root canal using ultrasonics and dental operating microscope.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to assess the variations in the root canal configuration of maxillary second permanent molars in the Pakistani subpopulation by using different clinical aids in vivo. METHODOLOGY: The Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from April to October 2018 at the College of Dentistry, Riphah International University, Pakistan. The root canal configurations of Maxillary second molars were evaluated in 95 adult patients that presented to the Operative Department, after obtaining consent. After access cavity preparation the orifices were identified and cross checked using 2.5x magnification and different clinical tests. Data analysis was done by utilizing SPSS version 23. RESULTS: Out of the 95 teeth 6(6.3%) teeth had a single canal, 7(7.4%) teeth had two canals, 58(61.1%) teeth had three canals and 24(25.3%) teeth had four canals. Age-wise analysis of the frequency of different canals showed that prevalence of molars with three canals was significantly higher in the subjects with age between 41 and 50 years. Conclusion: Overall, the study noted four morphological variations in the root canal configuration of Maxillary second molar teeth in Pakistani subpopulation. Hence, while executing the endodontic treatment in the maxillary second molars a thorough assessment of the root canal system should be carried out. The results of the study can guide Pakistani dentists. KEYWORDS: Permanent Maxillary second molar, Dental Morphology, Endodontics, Pakistan

Radiographic Presentation

Dilaceration is the result of a developmental anomaly in which there has been an abrupt change in the axial inclination between the crown and the root of a tooth. It is seen involving both the permanent and primary dentitions. Root canal curvatures may be apical, gradual, sickle-shaped, severe-moderate-straight curve, bayonet / S-shaped curve and dilacerated curve. Curved root canals exhibit great difficulty in cleaning, shaping and obturation of the root canal system. This mandates routine periapical radiographs which aid the clinician in assessing these morphological variations in the root canal system. This article highlights a rare presentation of dilacerated distal root of left mandibular first molar resembling radiographically as walking molar in 17-year-male patient.

ABSTRACT Aim To present two cases of rare morphological variations of mandibular teeth which were successfully treated endodontically. Background Variations in root and root canal morphology can be found associated with any tooth with varying degree and incidence. To execute an excellent root canal treatment, the clinician should have thorough knowledge of root canal anatomy. Case report Mandibular premolars and canines usually have a single root and single canal. Occurrences of two roots in such teeth are morphological rarities. Endodontic therapy was performed successfully in these rare cases with the help of preoperative radiographs at different angulations. Conclusion The root canal system is a complex structure that possesses aberrant anatomical and morphological variations. During endodontic therapy, it is always mandatory to follow the guidelines and laws to understand the complexities of the space that has to be cleaned and obturate. Clinical significance Thorough understanding and exploration of the complex root canal system with the help of available diagnostic aids is essential for a successful endodontic therapy.
