“…Moreover, use of a DOM ensures that the ultrasonic tip accurately removes the calcification that blocks the root canal orifice, reduces unnecessary grinding of healthy dentin, and improves the fracture resistance of the teeth [ 4 ]. In addition, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can predict root canal location in teeth with unusual root canal anatomy [ 5 ]. Vertucci described three types of root canal systems in maxillary second molars.…”

Objectives. A major challenge in root canal treatment is the complex and variable root canal system. There are several methods of classification of root canal systems. Herein, we report a case of a maxillary second molar, the root canal system of which could not be classified according to any of the previous methods. Case Report. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), used to visualize the root canal system of a maxillary left second molar with fused roots, revealed a type 1–3 root canal system in the buccal root and a type 1–1 root canal system in the palatal root. A dental operating microscope was used throughout the treatment, and the root canals were successfully obturated. Conclusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the classification of buccal roots of maxillary second molars. Clinical Significance. A dental operating microscope and CBCT play a vital role in mapping the root canal system to ensure that no canal is missed.

“…In the late 1990s, CBCT was initially introduced by Mozzo et al (50). Due to the high-resolution images, CBCT had been used as a supplemental diagnostic technique for dental treatment in various fields of Dentistry, for example, Endodontics (51)(52)(53)(54), Orthodontics (55)(56)(57), and Oral maxillofacial surgery (58,59). In the field of implant dentistry, Cone beam computed tomography has become a common imaging technique that allowed the capture of information through a rotational movement of the radiation source and the detectors around the interesting region.…”

Purpose: This study determined the relationships of the angulation between tooth root axis and alveolar bone axis to the anterior alveolar (AA) arch forms and the sagittal root position (SRP) classification in anterior esthetic region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods: CBCT images which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were classified according to a novel classification of AA arch forms (Bulyalert 2018) and a SRP classification (Kan 2011). Then, the angulations of the root axis and the alveolar bone axis were measured using the mid-sagittal CBCT images of each tooth. The relationship of the angulations in each AA arch forms and the SRP classifications were evaluated using one-way ANOVA and linear regression model. Results: 98 CBCT images were included in this study. The correlation of the angulations of the root axis and the alveolar bone axis to the SRP classification was greater than that to the classification of AA arch form. However, the relationship of the angulation of root axis and the alveolar bone axis to both the AA arch form classification and the SRP classification could be predicted. Conclusion: The angulations of root axis and alveolar bone axis demonstrated the relationship to the classification of AA arch forms and the SRP classification. Therefore, this information could help implantologist in treatment planning.
