Two, Three, Four…..What More!!! Endodontic Management of Three Cases with Rare Root Canal Morphology
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
Aim: To describe the clinical management of three teeth with aberrant root canal morphology: a mandibular canine with two radicular canals, maxillary second premolar with three roots and root canals; and maxillary second molar with four roots and root canals, all of which are rare clinical occurrence in our environment. Presentation of Case: This case report summarizes 3 cases with rare root canal morphology treated by non surgical endodontic treatment in which a maxillary first premolar, maxillary second molar and mandibular canine with aberrent root canal morphology. Discussion: It is generally accepted that a major cause for the failure of root canal therapy is an inability to recognize the presence of and to adequately treat all of the canals. The clinical impact of untreated canal spaces may vary from clinical and radio graphical normalcy to severe symptoms of acute pulpitis or apical abscess. Consistent high levels of success in endodontic treatment require an understanding of root canal anatomy and morphology. To achieve endodontic success, the entire root canal system must be derided, disinfected and obturated. The clinician must have a thorough understanding of normal anatomy, and of common variations from the norm. Thus meticulous knowledge of tooth morphology, careful interpretation of angled radiographs, proper access cavity preparation and a detailed exploration of the interior of the tooth is needed to ensure a proper endodontic treatment. Conclusion: The variability of symptoms diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties make the treatment of missed anatomy a challenge for the general dentist; consequently, treatment of these difficult cases should be managed by dentists with advanced training in endodontics.
