Endodontic Management and Cone-beam Computed Tomography Evaluation of Seven Maxillary and Mandibular Molars with Single Roots and Single Canals in a Patient

Morphology of Maxillary First and Second Molars Analyzed by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in a Korean Population: Variations in the Number of Roots and Canals and the Incidence of Fusion

“…2C and D). These variations are extraordinary anatomic variations, which have been rarely reported except in case reports (20)(21)(22)(23)(24). In our literature review, only 1 study reported the frequency of a single root and a single canal in the maxillary first molars (10).…”

Efficacy of clinical and radiological methods to identify second mesiobuccal canals in maxillary first molars

“…Forty-three references were retrieved, of which 10 were found to describe maxillary first molar root canal anatomy (four case reports and six original articles) [3,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Among such studies, one used a CBCT scanner in an Indian population and identified two MB root canals in 48.2% of the maxillary first molars evaluated [15].…”

Precision of Endodontic Working Length Measurements: A Pilot Investigation Comparing Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Scanning with Standard Measurement Techniques

“…It has also been proposed as an alternative to conventional computed tomography scanning because a smaller radiation dose is administered to the patient (14,15). Preendodontic CBCT analysis has been described as an advantage in several situations (5) (eg, for the detection of apical periodontitis [8,9], for the diagnosis of resorptive lesions [21], and for the endodontic treatment of complex root canal anatomies [22][23][24]). In CBCT images performed for diagnostics and therapy planning before surgery of cystic jawbone lesions, teeth requiring perioperative root canal treatment are often completely visible in the respective FOV (100% in the patient population of this study).…”
