A story of a dilacerated premolar

Premolars are the most versatile teeth in regards of anatomy. One of the most challenging anatomical variations we have to face is dilaceration. Abrupt curvatures complicate the RCT especially when […]

Mysterious pathology, fascinating anatomy & healing- a case of NSRCT of tooth 44 

A periapical pathology, could be a result of caries, trauma, periodontally compromised oral cavity or even a thermal and chemical insult to the tooth. Effective cleaning, shaping and disinfection is the key to a successful endodontic treatment. A deep understanding of the anatomy of a root canal system, is of high value while performing a non-surgical root canal treatment. We often come across mandibular premolars with aberrant root canal anatomies. They often present with multiple canals, splits and accessory canals.
This article describes a case of NSRCT of a mandibular premolar with 1-2 configuration and it presented with a big peri-apical radiolucency.

Management of Type II dens invaginatus

Dens invaginatus (DI) is one of the rare malformations of teeth which results from an infolding of the dental papilla during the development of teeth. This defect gives rise to a possible communication between the pulp and oral environment, thereby increasing the susceptibility to caries, pulpitis, and pulp necrosis.

The probability of two fives

With increasing number of reports and studies of unusual root canal morphology, It is of utmost importance that the clinician must have detailed knowledge of the pulp canal anatomy to achieve effectively proper cleaning and shaping of the root canal system. Failure to recognize the aberrant root canal anatomy will lead to an unsuccessful treatment and thus failure of the endodontic therapy.
This case report describes a very rare scenario of a mandibular right first molar with five root canals (three in distal root and two in mesial root) and a maxillary left second molar with also five root canals (three in the mesial buccal root, one in the distobuccal root, and one palatal) in the same patient.
