Endodontic management of four-rooted maxillary second molar diagnosed using cone-beam computed tomography: a case report

Abstract

This article aims to focus on the brief knowledge about the anatomical and morphological variations of the root canal anatomy of the maxillary second molar. The present case report reveals the endodontic management of the four-rooted right maxillary second molar diagnosed with the help of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. The CBCT findings confirmed the presence of four roots (mesiobuccal, distobuccal, distopalatal, and mesiopalatal) and four root canals. This case report demonstrates the importance of CBCT which is a valuable tool for diagnosis and management of these complex root canal systems.
