The aim of this article is to present an endodontically managed maxillary first molar with an unusual morphology of a single root and a single canal, which has not been reported in the literature so far. An accurate assessment of this unusual morphology was made with the help of a Spiral computed tomography. This report extends the range of known possible anatomical variations to include teeth with lesser number of roots and canals. This report also highlights the role of Spiral computed tomography as an objective method to confirm the three-dimensional anatomy of teeth.
本文旨在呈现一例经牙髓治疗的上颌第一磨牙，其具有单根单管的异常形态，这在迄今为止的文献中尚未见报道。借助螺旋计算机断层扫描对这种异常形态进行了准确评估。本报告扩展了已知可能的解剖变异范围，以纳入牙根和根管数量较少的牙齿。本报告还强调了螺旋计算机断层扫描作为确认牙齿三维解剖结构的客观方法的作用。
