Background/purpose One of the most complexes in root and canal anatomy is the maxillary first permanent molar. This study aimed to analyze the frequency of mesiobuccal (MB2) canal and its apical portals of exit, in patients belonging to different gender-age groups and determine the possible relation with sex and age. Materials and methods A CBCT scan images were accessed from a documented database of 343 patients (178 male, 165 female), who had an oral and maxillofacial examination. The age of the patients ranging from 12 to 63 years. The frequency of the MB2 canal and its portals of exit apically were observed. Age and gender correlation were calculated using the χ2 test. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results A total of 634 maxillary first molars (335 male, 299 female) were included. The MB2 canal was found in 53.78% of the cases. A significantly higher incidence of the MB2 canal was detected in males than in females. No correlation in the presence and/or absence of the MB2 canal in terms of age. When MB2 canal present, a single apical foramen was observed in 66.28% of the cases, two apical foramina were present in 33.72% of the cases. Conclusion MB2 canals may be present in approximately half of the cases, from which one third of the cases have their own apical portal of exit.

Para desarrollar un plan de tratamiento endodóntico adecuado es fundamental el conocimiento de la anatomía. El objetivo de este artículo es describir el manejo endodóntico de un molar superior con cuatro raíces en un paciente de 12 años de edad con diagnóstico de pulpitis irreversible. Dos raíces palatinas, una raíz mesio vestibular y una raíz disto vestibular fueron identificadas en la radiografía periapical. Bajo magnificación de 4x se observó cinco conductos: mesio vestibular uno (MB1), mesio vestibular dos (MB2), conducto mesio palatino (CMP), conducto disto palatino (CDP) y conducto palatino tres (CP3) los cuales fueron tratados sin complicaciones y obturados mediante técnica de condensación lateral en frío.

“…Despite following all procedural protocols, missing a canal or an extra root may lead to treatment failure. [3] Various studies have demonstrated considerable variation in human permanent maxillary molar anatomy. The most common form of the permanent maxillary first molar has three roots and four canals with majority of the mesiobuccal roots having two canals while distobuccal and palatal roots having a single canal.…”

Role of Comprehensive Diagnostic, Imaging and Treatment Strategies in Endodontic Retreatment of a Maxillary Molar with Unusual Anatomy: A Case Report

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An appreciation of the anatomic complexity of the root canal system is essential at every step of endodontic treatment. Endodontic treatment of teeth with unusual root canal anatomy presents a unique challenge. This clinical case report presents the application of cone beam computed tomography as a useful imaging technique in endodontics for the management of teeth with aberrant anatomy. Failure to detect an extra canal may lead to treatment failure. The current report presents the management of a previously endodontically treated maxillary first molar with missed additional mesiobuccal and distobuccal canals. Keywords: CBCT, Canal Morphology, Maxillary molar, Missed canal, Retreatment.
