Root Canal Treatment of Three Rooted Maxillary First and Second Premolar using CBCT: A Case Report

Abstract

A discrete knowledge of the innate anatomy of a tooth is imperative for favourable endodontic treatment. Meticulous understanding of tooth morphology, judicious study of angled radiographs, emphasis on access cavity modifications and thorough exploration of the pulpal floor under magnification are important factors that contribute to successful treatment outcome. The present case report outlines the diagnostic approach and endodontic management of maxillary 1st and 2nd premolar with three root canals, each treated with the aid of operating microscope and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image.
