MAXILLARY FIRST PREMOLARS WITH THREE ROOT CANALS: TWO CASE REPORTS

Zeliha Uğur, Kerem Engin Akpınar, Demet Altunbaş

It is very important that the dentists have sufficient information about possible variations in the expected root canal configurations in order to achieve success in endodontic treatment. In addition to having adequate knowledge on the variations of the root canal anatomy, periapical radiographs from different angles, careful examination of the pulp chamber floor, and use of dental operation microscope during the procedure are also important factors that contribute to the diagnosis of the additional roots and canals. The aims of this article are to present the diagnostic approach and root canal treatments of two maxillary first premolar teeth with three canals in two patients.

Keywords: Root canals, variation, premolar tooth, endodontic treatment, anatomy

Üç Kanallı Maksiller Birinci Premolar Dişler: İki Olgu Bildirisi

Zeliha Uğur, Kerem Engin Akpınar, Demet Altunbaş

Endodontik tedavide başarının sağlanmasında hekimin beklenen kök kanal konfigürasyonlarındaki olası varyasyonlar hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olması büyük bir önem taşımaktadır.  İlave kök ve kanalların teşhisinde kök kanal anatomisinin varyasyonları hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmanın yanı sıra, farklı açılardan alınan periapikal radyografiler, pulpa odası tabanının dikkatle incelenmesi ve işlem sırasında dental operasyon mikroskobunun kullanımı da ilave kök ve kanalların tanı ve tedavi sürecinde değerlendirilmesi gereken önemli etkenlerdir. Bu makalenin amacı, iki hastada saptanan üç kanallı üst çene 1. küçük azı dişlerinin tanı sürecini ve kök kanalı tedavilerinde izlenen yaklaşımı sunmaktır.

Keywords: Kök kanalı, varyasyon, küçük azı dişi, endodontik tedavi, anatomi
