“…Even though the occurrence of single rooted maxillary second molar and a single canal is not high, diagnosing these unusual cases is of tremendous importance for successful endodontic treatment of these teeth. 22 There are some limitations of this study. This was an in-vivo study with only a small sample size which may not show all root canal anatomy variations in the local population.…”

Introduction: It is important for a dental practitioner to have a clear understandingof the root canal morphology and its variations to perform successful root canal treatment.The inability to identify and adequately treat all canals of root canal system may contribute tothe failure of root canal treatment. Objectives: Clinically determine the frequency or numbersof root canals per tooth in the maxillary second molar teeth in the local population. Setting:Department of Operative Dentistry in Punjab Dental Hospital / de`Montmorency College ofDentistry, Lahore. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Study Period: 25th May 2013 to24th November 2013 (6 months). Results: This was a Cross sectional survey of 80 patients withsymptomatic irreversible pulpitis in maxillary second molar teeth in patients undergoing rootcanal treatment. The results showed that five (6.25%) patients had single root canal, seventeen(21.25%) patients had 2 root canals, forty (50%) patients had 3 root canals, seventeen (21.25%)patients had 4 root canals and one (1.25 %) patient had 5 root canals per tooth. In patientwith five canals, single root canal was present in distobuccal and palatal root each while threeroot canals were present in mesiobuccal root as MB-1, MB-2 and MB-3 canal. Conclusion:Local population have a lot of variations in root canal anatomy in second molar. So preclinicalknowledge can increase the success rate of root canal treatment.

The aim of this article is to present a case with an unusual morphology of maxillary second molars on both sides and a mandibular second molar on right side in the same patient which was observed during routine endodontic procedure. Three second permanent molars had single root, single canal and an accurate assessment of this unusual morphology was made with the help of radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This report extends the range of known possible anatomical variations to include teeth with lesser number of roots and canals.

“…Anatomical and morphological variations and rare abnormalities of roots and root canal systems had been shown in previous studies [1,2,3]. The literature shows that maxillary molars can present from the simplest to the extensively complicated root and root canal anatomy and morphology [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Not much difference was found for mandibular molars [6,[15][16][17][18][19].…”

Unusual anatomy of permanent maxillary and mandibular molars: Case reports

Introduction The anatomy and morphology of the roots and root canal systems of multi-rooted teeth, especially the molars, shows numerous variations. Preoperative radiography, in particular cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), has exceptional significance in detecting anatomical variations and unusual root canal morphologies, which are extremely important to be familiar with in order to undertake successful endodontic therapy and minimize procedural errors. Outline of cases This report presents cases of incidental diagnosis of an unusual root anatomy and root canal morphology of permanent molars in two patients. Diagnosis in the first case was made using orthopantomography and confirmed after extraction therapy. The second case reviled unusual root anatomy and root canal morphology of the permanent molar after preoperative CBCT imaging. Conclusion Anatomical and morphological variations of roots and root canal systems can occur in any tooth. Clinicians should expect these variations, which should be thoroughly investigated when considering dental treatment.
