Maxillary 2nd molar roots

This root can have more than two canals according to Ozcan et al. The parallel root canals are frequently superimposed radiographically. They are usually shorter than the roots of the first molar and not as curved. The deciduous maxillary second molar is the most likely deciduous tooth to have an oblique ridge.

In the universal system of notation, the deciduous maxillary second molars are designated by a letter written in uppercase.

The right deciduous maxillary second molar is known as A, and the left one is known as J. Such a dental anomaly is the presence of two palatal roots in human maxillary second molars. Some case reports presented four-rooted maxillary second molar with four separate canals in which three well-separated buccal roots were located either second distobuccal or mesiobuccal root. C-shaped root canal orifices with C-shaped root canals in 4. A maxillary first molar has typically three separate roots and in only about of the cases just two roots are found. Two or more merged roots occur in about of all cases. In second maxillary molars , merging of roots is much more common.

The distobuccal root of a maxillary second molar is straighter than that of a maxillary first molar , with little or no mesial curvature.

The third molar’s distobuccal root has a tendency to curve distally in its apical third. The roots of the second molars are almost as long and sometimes even longer than those of the first molars. Lower central and lateral incisors - The single root of a lower incisor sometimes has canals.

The maxillary first molar is the human tooth located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary second premolars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary second molars. Apart from the usual three root anatomy of maxillary second molar, few studies have recorded occurrence of an extra palatal root in maxillary second molar making an uncommon ‘four root’ scenario. A thorough knowledge of root canal morphology is a prerequisite for the endodontic therapy. The maxillary molars , especially the second molars , have the most complicated root canal system in permanent dentition. There are many variations in canal number and configuration in maxillary molars.

Treatment may be unsuccessful because the dentist may fail to recognize the unusual canal configuration. Case Report A 25-year-old male patient was referred to our Department in Bassum, Lower Saxony, Germany, to receive apicoectomy on the maxillary left second molar. Together with the referral, the radiographic history of the relevant tooth was provided (Figures 1(a)–1(c)).

Maxillary First Molars - three well separated roots - palatal root - longest - mesio buccal root- broad bucco-lingually - mostly canals - distobuccal - smallest root - straightest root - always look for four canals in all first molars - second mesial canal usually located in line with the groove between the mesiobuccal and palatal canals. The presence of oblique ridge on the occlusal surface is a characteristic feature of the maxillary molar. Maxillary molars have roots with tripod arrangement, which enhance the anchorage in alveolar bone.

The crown of the maxillary molar is more centered over the root. Importance of Primary Teeth. The loss of the deciduous teeth tends to mirror the eruption sequence: incisors, first molars , canines, and second molars , with.

Unprecedented as they erupt behind deciduous molars. The main functions of molars is grinding the foo and supporting the muscles of mastication, and vertical dimension. They decrease in size as they go posteriorly therefore the first molar is the largest, then the second molar and lastly the third molar.

MAXILLARY FIRST MOLAR It is the largest tooth in the maxillary arch.
