The endodontic treatment of a mandibular molar with aberrant canal configuration can be diagnostically and clinically challenging. Successful endodontic therapy thus depends on the clinician's ability to anticipate and look for these aberrant variations. A mandibular first molar with seven canals represents a rare anatomical variant, particularly when four canals are found in distal root. Based on in vitro studies, its incidence is reported to be between 0.2% and 3%. With the advent of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as an adjunctive diagnostic aid, the determination of root canal anatomy in teeth with complex canal configurations has become more precise. The present case report discusses successful nonsurgical management of radix entomolaris along with middle mesial canal and middle distal canal in mandibular first molar with seven canals (four canals in distal and three in mesial) employing CBCT as an adjunctive diagnostic aid to conventional radiography.
对根管形态异常的下颌磨牙进行根管治疗在诊断和临床操作上都具有挑战性。因此,成功的根管治疗取决于临床医生预测和发现这些异常变异的能力。具有七条根管的下颌第一磨牙是一种罕见的解剖变异,尤其是当在远中根发现四条根管时。根据体外研究,其发生率据报道在0.2%至3%之间。随着锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)作为辅助诊断工具的出现,对于根管形态复杂的牙齿,根管解剖结构的确定变得更加精确。本病例报告讨论了使用CBCT作为传统放射摄影的辅助诊断工具,成功地对具有七条根管(四条远中根管和三条近中根管)的下颌第一磨牙的远中根、近中中根管和远中中根管进行非手术治疗。
