Endodontic management of Maxillary third molar with supernumerary root: A rare case series

Dr. Yogita G Mahadik, Dr. Sarvesha Bhondwe, Dr. Vishal Mahajan

Abstract :

Thorough knowledge of root and root canal morphology helps to obtain the optimal outcome of root canal treatment. Any missed canal may lead to failure of the properly done root canal treatment. Many variations in the root and root canal morphology of the maxillary molars have been documented. Whereas, third molars present a great challenge for endodontists because of its known inaccessibility and variability. A present paper describes a case series of four rooted maxillary third molars with four canals which is a rare canal configuration. Identification of the supernumerary was made through multiangled pre–operative radiographs, dentine map and also through the cone beam computed tomography for one case.
