Three‐dimensional computed topography analysis of a patient with an unusual anatomy of the maxillary second and third molars

Abstract

We present a case of a patient with rare anatomy of a maxillary second molar with three mesiobuccal root canals and a maxillary third molar with four separate roots, identified using multi‐slice computed topography (CT) and three‐dimensional reconstruction techniques. The described case enriched/might enrich our knowledge about possible anatomical aberrations of maxillary molars. In addition, we demonstrate the role of multi‐slice CT as an objective tool for confirmatory diagnosis and successful endodontic management.
