ROOT CANAL MORPHOLOGY AND CONFIGURATION MAXILLARY SECOND MOLARS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging is a valuable tool for endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to identify morphology of second upper molar root canal . CBCT of 360 patients were used. Results were as follows: Number of roots 4 (0.4%), 3 (91.25%), 2 (6.94%), 1 (1.4%). 84.7% of the mesio-bucal root teeth have only 1 root canal, women (85.5%) higher than men (83.8%), no difference on the right and left side. The distal and medial roots have only one canal from the canal entrance to the apex. The morphology of the C-shaped canal accounts for 20.8%, of which the B1 form accounts for 8.9% and A accounts for 7.6%. No difference between right and left, but more common in women (24.3%) than in men (16.6%).
