“…The possibility of finding C-shaped canal anatomy in maxillary lateral incisors with type III radicular groove has also been documented. [41] There is no correlation of C-shaped canal configuration with gender and also with age and tooth position. Bilateral occurrence of C-shaped canals has been reported in a percentage of 70%-81%.…”

C-shaped root canal configuration: A review of literature

The aim is to review and discuss the etiology, incidence, anatomic features, classification, diagnosis and management of the C-shaped canal configuration. C-shaped canal configuration is a variation that has a racial predilection and is commonly seen in mandibular second molars. The intricacies present in this variation of canal morphology can pose a challenge to the clinician during negotiation, debridement and obturation. Manual and electronic searches of literature were performed from 1979 to 2012, in Pub Med by crossing the keywords: C-shaped canals, mandibular second molar, mandibular first premolar, root canal morphology. Knowledge of the C-shaped canal configuration is essential to achieve success in endodontic therapy. Radiographic and clinical diagnoses can aid in identification and negotiation of the fan-shaped areas and intricacies of the C-shaped anatomy. Effective management of this anomalous canal configuration can be achieved with rotary and hand instrumentation assisted with sonics and ultrasonics. Modifications in the obturation techniques will ensure a 3-dimensional fill of the canal system and chamber retained restorations like amalgam or composites, serve as satisfactory post endodontic restorations.

Introduction. The radicular groove is a developmental groove which is usually found on the palatal or lateral aspects of the maxillary incisor teeth. The present case is a maxillary lateral incisor with a small second root and a deep radicular groove. The developmental groove caused a combined periodontal-endodontic lesion. Methods. Case was managed using a combined treatment procedure involving nonsurgical root canal therapy and surgical periodontal treatment. After completion of root canal treatment, guided tissue regeneration (GTR) was carried out using decalcified freeze dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and a bioabsorbable collagenous membrane. Tooth also was splinted for two months. Results. After 12 months the tooth was asymptomatic. The periapical radiolucency disappeared and probing depth did not exceed 3 mm. Conclusion. Combined treatment procedure involving nonsurgical root canal therapy and surgical periodontal regenerative treatment can be a predictable technique in treating combined endodontic-periodontal lesions caused by radicular groove.

“…The location of the groove as well as its narrow 'v' shaped configuration (type ll) makes it a favourable site of plaque accumulation even in presence of generally good oral hygiene [3]. In cases where the pulp has also become necrotic, the tooth requires endodontic treatment in addition to periodontal therapy.…”

“…At the same time, it is equally important to adequately treat the periodontal defect that ultimately determines the prognosis of these teeth [11]. Suggested treatment modalities for radicular groove are curettage of the affected tissues [12], elimination of the groove by grinding (saucerization) [3] or by sealing with a variety of filling materials [13], surgical procedures including placement of bone graft in addition to the conventional endodontic treatment [14].…”
