“…Whereas the study by Shafqat et al on Pakistani population has reported the prevalence of 50%. 19 The authors did not find any further study on second maxillary molars in Pakistani population. The findings of current study were in line with the results reported in American (56.9%) and Brazilian (58%) populations.…”

“…18 The prevalence of one and four canals in the current research were comparable with the findings of study conducted by Shafqat et al on the Pakistani population. 19 The prevalence of second maxillary molar teeth with one and two canals was significantly higher in Pakistani population as compared to the Brazilian population (0%).3 Conversely, Pecora and colleagues reported significantly higher percentage of second maxillary molars (42%) with 4 canals in Brazilian cohort. 3 The percentages of four canals in Pakistani population were found to be 25.3% in current study and 21.25% as reported by Shafqat et al 19 Accordingly, Peikoff et al noted 22.7% of the maxillary second molars with four canals in the American population while using radiographic method to assess the number of canals.…”

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

“…Studies on internal and external anatomy of teeth have shown that complex anatomical variation can occur in all teeth. (Shafqat et al, 2018) The factors that play a role in these variations include ethnicity, age, gender and study design (Ratanajirasut et al, 2018).…”

Maxillary molars contain various anatomical variations with diverse shapes and forms. The variations in root canal anatomy may be due to developmental patterns or may have a genetic influence. The root morphological studies have led to a better understanding of canal morphology that contributes to successful cleaning and shaping of the root canal system. This study was done to assess the prevalence of the number of canals in Maxillary second molars and to determine its association with age and gender in a South Indian Population by evaluating post- operative periapical radiographs. A total of 384 case sheets of root canal treated maxillary second molars were reviewed and analyzed. The patients undergoing root canal treatment for maxillary second molars were screened, and cases selected for the study were in the age group of 18- 65 years. Data was analyzed using SPSS software. Out of 384 teeth, 211 were male and 173 were female patients. Number of canals had no significant correlation with age but had significant association with gender (p=0.085). There were 3 canals in most of the cases. Within the limitations of the study, the maxillary second molars consisted mostly of 3 canals in both male and female patients. There was significant association between gender and number of canals.

“…False assumptions about the anatomy of the root canal of teeth can lead to misdiagnosis, inadequate debridement, step formation and instrument breakage during root canal care(Shafqat, Munir and Sajid, 2018). Problems encountered during endodontic treatment of permanent molar teeth indicate the need for increased knowledge of root canal system anatomy(Kanyal et al, 2016).…”

The dental professional should be familiar with the differences of number of root and root canal system anatomy, which at some aspects provides specific dental anomalies of tooth and helpful in analysing in the clinical field. The main aim for patients and doctors is to relive pain and maintain natural teeth with similar morphology. Root canal therapy is mostly the treatment of choice for teeth with pulpal and periradicular affected teeth. Effective treatment is required for good mechanical and chemical cleaning and shaping and provides a compact obturation under aseptic conditions with an inert filling material.The major reason for endodontic failure is the existence of untreated canals. A detailed diagnosis of the root canal system anatomy is a requirement for effective treatment of root canals. This review shows incidence of root and root canal variations in maxillary second molars. The presence of root canal orifices helps in diagnosis of preoperative radiographs and examination of the pulp.
