“…In our study, there was a male preponderance in the prevalence of root canal variations (Figures 3 and 4) (p=0.002, statistically signi icant). This inding is in concordance with the previous study held among the Iran population, shows that the male patients show more deviation in the root canal anatomy (Faramarzi, 2015;Hosseinpour, 2016).…”

Mandibular first molars are amongst the most common teeth requiring endodontic treatment due to their early emergence in the oral cavity and subsequent caries. Proper knowledge and understanding of the root canal morphology and anatomy of mandibular first molars, will help the clinician in developing a proper and standard treatment protocol by predicting possible variations that potentially challenge the treatment outcome. The main objective of the present study was to know the prevalence of canal variations in mandibular 1st molar among the South Indian population and its association with age and gender. All the patients who reported during June 2019 to March 2020 for mandibular 1st molar endodontic therapy were chosen for the study. Information was collected from the dental hospital record system and the resulting data was tabulated in excel and imported to SPSS for correlation and association. Within the limits of the study, the results obtained are: prevalence of canal variations is 7.6% and 2.2% in single and multi visit root canal treatment respectively with a higher incidence among the male patients and it is primarily seen in the age group of 21 to 40 years. This knowledge about the canal variations in the South Indian population will be helpful to the clinician to look for any unusual anatomy while performing endodontic therapy which will prevent any unwanted procedural errors. It necessitates the careful negotiation and cleaning of all accessible canal spaces.

“…The usual distance between MB1 and MB2 ranges from 1.5 to 2 mm mesially and 2.5 to 3.5 mm palatally with a maximum reported distance of 4 mm by Faramarzi et al 19 Here, the MB2 canal was located 5.607 mm away from the MB1 canal at the orifice level. Raju et al reported an unusual case of MB2 orifice located closer to the palatal orifice, but they have not mentioned the distance between MB1 and MB2 canals.…”

Introduction The purpose of this article was to emphasize the importance of understanding root canal anatomy and its variations for successful endodontic treatment. Methods This case report presents the detection and endodontic management of eccentrically placed second mesiobuccal (MB) canal in maxillary first molar with the help of dental operating microscope and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning. Results Cone-beam computed tomography images showed broad MB root with second MB canal located closer to palatal orifice. Conclusion This report describes a variation in canal location and complex anatomy of maxillary first molar with posttreatment apical periodontitis which was managed successfully with the aid of dental operating microscope and CBCT.

“…Some needs are met by CBCT exams, such as diagnosis, treatment planning, evaluation of intraoral pathologies, evaluation of root canal morphology and shape, evaluation of root resorption components, evaluation of the concept of obturation and assistance with the removal of root canal fillings, preoperative preparation, and evaluation of internal and external root resorption. Some research suggests that the second mesiobuccal channel of human maxillary molars may be identified using CBCT [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Background: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has evolved in the field of endodontics and has helped to diagnose and treat the case very easily and accurately. The researchers set out to pinpoint the exact placement of the roots and canals in the maxillary second molars of North Indians by analyzing CBCT pictures.Methods: In this study, in vivo CBCT was used to examine the maxillary second molars (n = 70) in detail. Both the number and configuration of root canals may be determined using Vertucci's categorization.Results: Most people had three roots in their second molars (85.7%). Most maxillary second molars that had three roots looked like they had three separate roots (81.7%). In the roots of 85.7% of maxillary second molars, one canal was found in the mesiobuccal roots, and 14.2% had an MB2 canal. All of the canals in the palatal, distobuccal root, and MB1 root were Type I. The Type II canal configuration was found in 11.7% of MB2 canals. Type IV canals were found in 5% of the MB2 canals. The number of maxillary second molars with MB2 was found to be the same for both men and women (P =0.11). The number of MB2 cases did not depend on where the teeth were or how old the person was (P=0.08 and 0.06, respectively). The fact that both second molars appeared at the same time was important (P<0.001).Conclusions: We report the occurrence of unusual morphologic abnormalities that affect only one root and have only been described in case reports. CBCT scans can help doctors better understand root canal anatomy and potentially enhancing endodontic management outcomes.
