Endodontic Management of Maxillary Second Molars Fused with Paramolar Tubercles Diagnosed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography - Two Case Reports

摘要

The main objective of nonsurgical endodontic treatment is to eliminate micro-organisms from the root canal system. Adequate knowledge of the root canal morphology and its complexities is essential to render successful endodontic treatment. Variations in tooth form and morphology may be found in the form of anomalous cusps in the crown region or additional roots. In permanent molars, changes in the crown morphology may occur either in the form of an additional tooth (paramolar) or supernumerary cusp termed as “paramolar tubercle”.
