Maxillary first molars exhibit considerable anatomical variation, with a single palatal root being the most common occurrence, while two palatal roots are notably less frequent. This case report details the endodontic treatment of a maxillary first molar with two separate palatal roots. It highlights the critical importance of recognizing these anatomical variations and their unique challenges during endodontic procedures. This report emphasizes the essential role of advanced diagnostic methods, such as cone-beam computed tomography, and the use of microscopic techniques in identifying and treating such cases.
上颌第一磨牙表现出相当大的解剖变异,单个腭根最为常见,而两个腭根则明显较少见。本病例报告详细介绍了一例具有两个独立腭根的上颌第一磨牙的根管治疗。它强调了在根管治疗过程中识别这些解剖变异及其独特挑战的至关重要性。本报告强调了先进诊断方法(如锥形束计算机断层扫描)以及显微技术在识别和治疗此类病例中的重要作用。
