Abstract

Summary. The palatal roots of 100 maxillary first permanent molar teeth and 100 maxillary second molar teeth were examined for degree and nature of curvature in a bucco‐palatal direction.Eighty‐five per cent of palatal canals of maxillary permanent first and second molar teeth were curved more than 10.Attention is drawn to the need to use instrumentation techniques which are directed to the maintenance of this curvature, and care should also be taken during preparation of post holes so that the curvature of these root canals is not ignored.
