Maxillary second premolar canals

What is the treatment for an infected root canal? What are the signs of a root canal infection? Should I get a root canal or pull the tooth? Vertucci and associates stated that of maxillary second premolars in their study had one canal at the apex, had two foramina, and had three foramina.

Of the teeth studie 59.

These clinicians also reported that when two canals join into one, the palatal canal frequently exhibits a straight-line access to the apex. The average length of the teeth was 21. Concerning the canal morphology, 33.

Maxillary second premolars usually have one root with one or two root canals. Vertucci reported the occurrence of one canal at the apex in them at , and two canals at apex at. The permanent maxillary second molar : Canal number And configurations in a Tunisian population One of the major causes of failure in endodontic treatment is the impossibility of locating and treating the entire root canal system, a result of the lack of knowledge regarding the dental, internal or external anatomy.

In the present study only 13.

The rest are pretty small percentages. Two canals may be found in about of cases. The configuration of the two canals may vary with two separate canals and two exits, two canals and one common exit, one canal dividing and having two exits. In one study, it was found that of maxillary second premolars had accessory canals. The maxillary second premolar is one of two teeth located in the upper jaw, laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary first premolars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary first molars.

Lower central and lateral incisors - The single root of a lower incisor sometimes has canals. Vertucci also showed that the second premolar had one canal at the apex in 97. Type IV, are Type II, are Type I. Most maxillary first premolars have two roots and two pulp canals. Even when only one root is present, two pulp canals can usually be found. This is at variance with the studies of Greenand Vertucci et al.

The canal configurations of the maxillary second premolar can be classified into the following eight types (Table I) : Type I. A single canal from the pulp chamber to the apex. Two separate canals leaving the pulp chamber but joining short of the apex to form one canal. Approximately to of maxillary first premolars have canals , while to have just canal.

Mandibular second premolars have been shown to have root canal at the apex in 97.

Three-rooted maxillary first premolars are uncommon, with an incidence of 0. Mandibular molars with two canals have one distal and one mesial canal usually situated in distal and mesial roots. When there are three canals there are two mesial and one distal. Teeth with four canals have two mesial and two distal canals. Second premolars vary individually more than first premolars.

A maxillary second premolar may have a crown that is noticeably smaller cervicoocclusally and mesiodistally. On the other han it may be larger in those dimensions and usually is. Generally the root of a second premolar is longer than that of a first premolar. Frequencies and percent - ages were calculated for three canals. Chi-square test was used to interpret the of the study.

Out of 1extracted permanent maxillary second premolars, showed one canal and showed two canals. Only demonstrated three canals of the total sample (n=150) Fig 1. Larger crown and root than mandibular 1st premolar , therefore larger pulp cavity in crown and upper root canal. Usually have ONE root and canal that may be curve usually DISTALLY. Crown is generally tilted lingually to the long axis of the tooth. Studies concerning root canal morphology of the maxillary second molar have reported an equal incidence of one or canals in the mesiobuccal root.

The lingual canal can be situated in a lingual root (A) or join the buccal canal in a common foramen (B) or have a separate foramen within the same root as the buccal canal.
