This case report presents the presence of two separate root canals in the palatal root of a maxillary first molar. Root canal treatment was performed successfully using an endodontic microscope and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
BACKGROUND Root canal variations frequently occur in maxillary first molars, which greatly affects the success of its treatment. The second mesiobuccal (MB) root canal is the most common root canal variation. However, only a few studies have been conducted on palatal root canal variations. Herein, we report the presence of two separate root canals in a palatal root of the maxillary first molar. CASE SUMMARY A 39-year-old woman complained of pain in the maxillary right region for 1 year, which recently worsened. Clinical examination revealed a poorly restored right maxillary first molar and caries detected at the filling marginal. Cold and heat test results indicated severe pain in the right maxillary first molar. The patient was diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, and subsequently, root canal treatment (RCT) was performed. In total, five root canals were found in the maxillary first molar, including two separate root canals in the palatal root. RCT was successfully performed using an endodontic microscope and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The CBCT image revealed a vertucci type I canal morphology in the distobuccal root, while the MB and palatal root canals were type ?. At the 1-mo follow-up, the maxillary first molar was completely asymptomatic, and the X-ray results indicated a successful RCT. Finally, the ceramic crown restoration was performed. CONCLUSION An endodontic microscope and CBCT are useful in effectively identifying and treating root canal variations.
