Endodontic management of maxillary second molar with a single root and a single canal diagnosed with cone-beam computed tomography scanning

Abstract

Root canal treatment of maxillary molars presenting with complex root canal configurations can be diagnostically challenging. The present case describes the endodontic management of a maxillary second molar with a single root and a single canal. The clinical detection of the single canal was made using a surgical operating microscope and confirmed using cone-beam computed tomography scanning.
