We present a case of a patient with rare anatomy of a maxillary second molar with three mesiobuccal root canals and a maxillary third molar with four separate roots, identified using multi-slice computed topography (CT) and three-dimensional reconstruction techniques. The described case enriched/might enrich our knowledge about possible anatomical aberrations of maxillary molars. In addition, we demonstrate the role of multi-slice CT as an objective tool for confirmatory diagnosis and successful endodontic management.
我们呈现了一例上颌第二磨牙罕见解剖结构的病例,该牙具有三个近中颊根根管,以及一例上颌第三磨牙具有四个独立的根,这些特征是通过多层螺旋 CT 和三维重建技术确定的。所描述的病例丰富了/可能丰富了我们对上颌磨牙可能存在的解剖异常的认识。此外,我们展示了多层 CT 作为一种客观的诊断工具在成功的牙髓治疗管理中的作用。
