“…13 In recent years, cone beam CT has emerged as an innovation in the field of dentistry imaging, allowing for various 3D reconstructions. 14 The new generation equipments permit the visualization of soft and hard tissues, surpassing conventional images in relation to the linear measurements of maxillaries, location and extension of dental resorptions, radicular position, presence of radicular fractures, and diagnosis of bone lesions.…”

Fusion is a developmental anomaly in tooth morphology, which may be due to either union of two separate tooth buds or partial splitting of a single tooth bud. A thorough understanding of root canal anatomy is an essential prerequisite for a successful endodontic treatment. This case report describes successful endodontic management of a maxillary left lateral incisor fused with a supernumerary tooth using spiral computed tomography (SCT) as a diagnostic aid. A patient reported with a painless swelling in the maxillary anterior region associated with a fused maxillary lateral incisor. Spiral CT was performed to better understand the complex root canal anatomy. Endodontic treatment was done using methyl trioxide aggregate (MTA) as apical plug and obturation by thermoplasticized gutta-percha. The tooth was completely asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up showing signs of healing. The present case report emphasizes on the importance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques, such as SCT in cases of developmental anomalies having complicated root canal morphology for successful endodontic therapy.

“…In contrast, CBCT has proven to be a very successful modality as it is not subjected to a two-dimensional view, geometric distortion, image elongation or foreshortening, etc 46. CBCT has been shown to be a powerful tool for evaluating the extent of canal calcification and therefore helps in contributing to the proper sequence of the treatment 47. Therefore, an intraoperative evaluation with CBCT is highly recommended while managing such atypical cases.…”

SUMMARYRecently, there has been an ongoing trend of case reports that highlight the presence of more than four root canals in mandibular first molars. This tendency warns clinicians to be more prudent when dealing with mandibular first molars requiring endodontic treatment. Moreover, radiographic examination should be taken as a clue providing tool rather than as an absolute guide to anatomy and its associated aberrances. This case reports the successful non-surgical endodontic management of a mandibular first molar with six root canal systems with three canals in the mesial root and three in the distal root. The classification of root canal systems found in this case was Sert and Bayirli type XV in both the roots. After non-surgical endodontic treatment, the tooth was restored definitively with a resin composite core followed by porcelain fused to the metal crown. This case adds to the library of previously reported cases of mandibular first molars with six root canals and further emphasises on the importance of rare morphological deviations that may occur in the mandibular first molars.

“…It can provide additional information in three dimensions when compared to two-dimensional conventional IOPA radiography, and thus helps in the diagnosis, treatment planning, management and followup of cases more predictably. 11,12 In this case, both IOPA radiographs and CBCT scans were done for diagnosis. Cone beam computed tomography images in all the three planes helped in the measurement assessment of apical region tooth width which was found to be less than 1 mm, which was not possible with IOPAR.…”

Trauma to the facial region is a common event with injury of teeth. The treatment is aimed at the functional restoration of tooth along with complete biologic healing. Biodentine (Septodont, St Maurdes Fossés, France) introduced in the year 2011. It is a calcium silicate based material and is claimed by the manufacturers as repair of crown and root dentin repair treatment, perforations, resorptions, apexification, and root end fillings. This article presents a case report of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) diagnosis and surgical management of an open apex case using biodentine as retrograde filling material.
