Identifying Anatomical Anomaly - A Four Rooted Maxillary Second Molar Case Report

  • 1. International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR)

Description

Abstract

This article underscores the importance of understanding the root canal anatomy of maxillary second molars for successful endodontic treatment, particularly when faced with unusual root canal configurations. This anatomical variation is rare and presents a unique challenge for endodontic treatment. The case highlights the importance of recognizing and adapting to atypical root canal anatomy for successful treatment outcomes.
