Abstract
Aim : Endodontic management of maxillary right first molar with ‘five roots and six canals’ of which ‘three separate palatal roots’ were mesiopalatal, middle palatal and distopalatal roots were evaluated using spiral computed tomography (SCT) which has not been still upgraded in the literature. Summary : Endodontic treatment was carried out and with recent advanced techniques like dental operating microscope (DOM), intraoral camera with radio-visuo graphy (RVG) and Spiral computed tomography (SCT) the canals were identified and the number of roots were confirmed. Spiral CT scan slices revealed five roots of which, ‘three roots were palatal roots’, one mesiobuccal root and one distobuccal root in maxillary right first molar. This case report describes and discusses variation in morphology of maxillary first molar and use of advanced techniques in successfully diagnosing and negotiating the canals and number of roots.
