The morphological variations in roots and root canals vary greatly in multi-rooted teeth making it a challenge for accurate diagnosis and effective endodontic therapy. In addition to using technology appropriately, this article highlights how important it is to have a complete understanding of root canal morphology. With the assistance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and a dental operating microscope (DOM), successful endodontic treatment was performed on a single-rooted maxillary first molar with Vertucci's type II canal configuration. CBCT and DOM proved to be valuable tools for the effective diagnosis and management of this atypical morphology.
Keywords: cone-beam computed tomography (cbct); dental operating microscope (dom); endodontics; maxillary molar; root canal treatment; single rooted maxillary 1st molar.
