“…Of the various cases of maxillary first molars with two palatal roots reported, it was interesting to note that the majority of cases presented a Christie et al19 Type I pattern 101415182021. It is important to note that except Type I, identifications of other variants are very difficult on a radiograph alone but are more obvious when extracted teeth are examined.…”

“…In regard to the internal canal morphology, the most common canal configuration seen is individual palatal roots with separate root canal and foramina at the apical level 6101314151718192021. Variations reported include distopalatal root with one root canal, which divides into two and then merges to exit through a single apical foramen (1-2-1), and C-shaped palatal root canal with a palatal root bifurcation at the junction of the middle and apical third 812.…”

Radix mesiolingualis and radix distolingualis: a case report of a tooth with an unusual morphology

2016

Variation in the root and canal morphology of the maxillary first molars is quite common. The most common configuration is 3 roots and 3 or 4 canals. Nonetheless, other possibilities still exist. The presence of an additional palatal root is rather uncommon and has been reported to have an incidence of 0.06 - 1.6% in varying populations studied. Whenever two palatal roots exist, one of them is the normal palatal root, the other is a supernumerary structure which can be located either mesiolingually (radix mesiolingualis) or distolingually (radix distolingualis). This case report describes successful endodontic treatment of a maxillary first molar with radix mesiolingualis and radix distolingualis. Identification of this variation was done through clinical examination along with the aid of multiangled radiographs, and an accurate assessment of this morphology was made with the help of a cone-beam computed tomography imaging. In addition to the literature review, this article also discusses the epidemiology, classifications, morphometric features, guidelines for diagnosis, and endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with extra-palatal root.

“…Variations in the root canal's anatomy of the root canals play an important role on endodontic therapy success (Chakradhar Raju et al, 2010), mainly in teeth with pulp necrosis (Favieri et al, 2006). It is very important to point out the changes in the root canals morphology in teeth requiring endodontic treatment (Oporto et al, 2010).…”

Variations in the root canal's anatomy play an important role on endodontic therapy success, primarily in teeth with pulp necrosis. Traditionally, the preparation of root canals was performed with the use of stainless steel hand files; but over the years, new flexible instruments were introduced to prevent or minimize iatrogenic errors in shaping the root canal system. In most of recent publications, alternating rotation movements have been proposed as an alternative to continuous rotation in order to reduce the risk of fracture of the instrument and the root canal deformation. The aim of this article was to report a clinical case describing the simple way to perform the endodontic treatment of a maxillary premolar with three root canals, with the WaveOne reciprocating system.

Accessory roots in maxillary molar teeth: a review and endodontic considerations

Maxillary molar teeth may have accessory roots. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the endodontic implications of this anatomical variation. A review of the literature was undertaken to identify studies and reported cases where accessory roots have been recorded in maxillary molar teeth. The results show that although the prevalence of accessory roots in maxillary molar teeth is low, they can exist in all three types of maxillary molar teeth, and they may be located palatally, buccally, mesially or distally. Hence, it is essential that dentists undertaking root canal treatment thoroughly assess all teeth to determine how many roots are present in order to provide the best possible outcome of treatment for the patient.
