Abstract

Abstract:

The roots and roots canal system vary greatly in the maxillary second molars (MSMs), where root fusion and the second mesiobuccal canal (MB₂) are common variations. This case reported a rare anatomical variation of MSMs, confirmed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), which was one single conical root, 2 palatal canals and 4 canals fused into one at the apical region.

Key words: Maxillary second molars, Fused root, Double palatal root canal, Cone-beam computed tomography
