“…[9] The presence of an eccentric orifice, other than in its normal location leads to the suspicion of the presence of an extra canal. [10] Precise inspection of root canal configuration can be done through discrete diagnostic methodologies such as magnifying loupes, dental microscope, judicious interpretation of angled radiographs and auxiliary diagnostic aids like CBCT.…”

Role of Comprehensive Diagnostic, Imaging and Treatment Strategies in Endodontic Retreatment of a Maxillary Molar with Unusual Anatomy: A Case Report

An appreciation of the anatomic complexity of the root canal system is essential at every step of endodontic treatment. Endodontic treatment of teeth with unusual root canal anatomy presents a unique challenge. This clinical case report presents the application of cone beam computed tomography as a useful imaging technique in endodontics for the management of teeth with aberrant anatomy. Failure to detect an extra canal may lead to treatment failure. The current report presents the management of a previously endodontically treated maxillary first molar with missed additional mesiobuccal and distobuccal canals. Keywords: CBCT, Canal Morphology, Maxillary molar, Missed canal, Retreatment.

“…When there is an abrupt straightening or loss of a radiolucent canal in the pulp cavity, an extra canal should be suspected in the same root or in the other independent roots [ 4 , 10 ]. The presence of an eccentric orifice other than in its normal location in premolars buccopalatally leads to the suspicion of the presence of an extra canal [ 11 ].…”

One of the determining factors for the success of endodontic therapy is understanding the morphological anatomy of the tooth structure and its variants in relation to its template anatomy. The internal anatomy of maxillary first premolars is particularly complex due to their variation in number of roots and canal configuration. However, the bilateral presence of three roots in a maxillary first premolar is of rare occurrence. This case report describes the unusual anatomy bilaterally detected in maxillary first premolars using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Predictable endodontic therapy begins with good access preparation, which allows for the accurate location of any given orifice, facilitating the negotiating, securing, and shaping of the canal, as well as 3D disinfection and filling of the root canal system. Missed, unfilled, and untreated root canals have been identified as one of the leading causes of endodontic therapy failure in several investigations. With the advent of CBCT, magnification, ultrasonics and other diagnostic and treatment adjuvants, searching for and treating root canals has become easier and more predictable.
