UNUSUAL ANATOMY OF PERMANENT MAXILLARY MOLARS

Abstract

Variations in the pulp chamber anatomy and root canal configuration, especially in multi-rooted teeth, are a constant challenge for diagnosis and successful endodontic therapy. Knowledge of the most common anatomic characteristics and their possible variations is fundamental. An ideal root canal anatomy is more of an exception than a rule in the routine clinical scenario. This article describes the possible variations in the anatomy of maxillary molar teeth and a report of two cases.
