A rare case of three single rooted permanent second molars: A diagnosis with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)

The aim of this article is to present a case with an unusual morphology of maxillary second molars on both sides and a mandibular second molar on right side in the same patient which was observed during routine endodontic procedure. Three second permanent molars had single root, single canal and an...

description The aim of this article is to present a case with an unusual morphology of maxillary second molars on both sides and a mandibular second molar on right side in the same patient which was observed during routine endodontic procedure. Three second permanent molars had single root, single canal and an accurate assessment of this unusual morphology was made with the help of radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This report extends the range of known possible anatomical variations to include teeth with lesser number of roots and canals.
