  • Title: Maxillary first molar with aberrant canal configuration: a report of 3 cases.
    Author: Poorni S, Kumar A, Indira R.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 2008 Dec; 106(6):e53-5. PubMed ID: 18926731.
    Abstract:
    The prognosis for endodontic treatment in teeth exhibiting morphological aberrations is unfavorable if the clinician fails to recognize extra root canals. This report demonstrates 3 clinical cases of maxillary first molars that presented 2 canals in the palatal root merging at the apical third (Vertucci's type II canal morphology), a pattern that is rare and seldom encountered.
