Maxillary first molar usually exhibits a radicular anatomy of three roots and three or four canals. However, different anatomic variations like extra number of roots and canals are possible. For a successful treatment, clinicians must have well equipment and a thorough knowledge of the external and internal anatomy of teeth and its variation. Using of CBCT may help to locate extra canals by giving a chance to clinicians to see the root canal anatomy in 3-D view. The aim of this study was to present a case report about a diagnosis and treatment in maxillary first molar with three roots and five canals. It is concluded that the diagnosing and the treatment of unusual cases are key factors for successful endodontic treatment of these teeth.

However, the ability of this technology to demonstrate geometrically accurate images in all three dimensions and the elimination of anatomic noise facilitates the assessment of a number of features important in endodontic diagnosis, treatment, and Baratto-Filho F [23] 2012 Case report Multidisciplinary treatment involving a permanent maxillary lateral incisor fused to a supernumerary tooth with pulp necrosis and periapical lesion CBCT scan and an operative microscope may help the diagnosis and facilitate root canal localization in cases of complex and varied morphology. In the present case, CBCT was performed to have a more detailed view of the complex root canal system morphology since CBCT enables three dimensional image reconstruction Jaya R [69] 2013 Case report Dilated invaginated odontome with talon cusp in a permanent maxillary central incisor diagnosed by cone beam computed tomography.…”

Aim: This review aims to provide comprehensive information related to the principles of Cone beam computed tomography and its potential applications in the management of various endodontic conditions. Methodology:A thorough and extensive electronic literature search was conducted utilizing PubMed, for articles related to endodontic applications of CBCT published during the period between January 2005 and September 30, 2013. Search words such as 'principles of CBCT', 'endodontic applications of CBCT' were employed to obtain information. Only those articles dealing with the principles and various endodontic applications of CBCT are included in this review. Results:The search revealed 258 articles, 70 of which were found to be relevant to the scope of this review and were used in this review CBCT is a revolutionary and innovative procedure that has changed the paradigms in the management of various endodontic conditions. The information provided by this tool-three dimensional view of anatomic and pathologic structures, ability to provide details of root and canal anatomy, assessment of dento-alveolar trauma, assessment of root resorptions, etc. has contributed substantially to its extensive utilization in a short period of time.Clinical Significance: CBCT can be used in the management of a variety of conditions like dento-alveolar truma, root resorptions, early apical periodontitis, roots and canals with unusual anatomy, dental anomalies, etc. The effective dose of CBCT (focused field of view) varies from 5-38.3 μSv. The effective dose of intra-oral periapical radiographs and panoramic radiographs are ˂8.3 μSv and 9-26 μSv respectively. Thus CBCT has an effective dose in the similar range of magnitude as other dental radiographs, but, its three dimensional imaging capability and 100% sensitivity (1.0) and specificity (1.0) makes it an invaluable tool in the field of endodontics.
