Caption: Figure 2: Long axis of the lower first molar was constructed by joining the apex of mesiobuccal root with mesiobuccal cusp.

Three-dimensional analysis of maxillary first molar mesiobuccal root canal configuration and curvature using micro-computed tomography.

All roots (palatal and distobuccal) were observed to contain one root canal (100%) except the mesiobuccal root where single root canal was observed in 29.6% of maxillary molars (Table-I).

The occurrence of a third canal in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molar was first reported by Acosta Vigouroux & Trugeda Bosaans (1978).

Anatomic Determination of the Mesiobuccal Root Resection Level in Maxillary Molars.

As an example, it is more relevant to report that complex canal morphology in the distobuccal root of a maxillary first molar corresponds to complex canal morphology in the mesiobuccal root than reporting the complexity of both in a separate code as with the Vertucci classification.

The mesiobuccal roots were considered in the MX group and the mesial roots in the MD group.

Besides the high incidence and difficulties in locating the MB2 canal, there is considerable variation in the configuration of the canal system in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molars (Verma & Love; Yamada et al.; Gilles & Reader; Grande et al.; Kulild & Peters; Spagnuolo et al.; Weine et al.).

Mesiobuccal root (MBR) of maxillary molars is the most complex root in entire dentition.

Only roots with radiographic confirmation of Vertucci's type IV root canal configuration in the mesiobuccal root were selected.

Morphology of Mesiobuccal Root Canals of Maxillary First Molars: a comparison of CBCT scanning and Cross-sectioning.

Given the anatomical complexity of the mesiobuccal root and the high frequency of the MB2 canal, the clinician must assume the existence of two canals in this root, and CBCT scanning is a good way to initially identify the MB2 canal in the different root thirds.

Most of cases in this report were maxillary incisors (n=10) or mesiobuccal roots of maxillary molars (n=5).

In SRME group, the changes during the total treatment period (T2-T0) were analyzed on the axial sections of the CT images and significant decreases in the BABT of tooth number 16 (level of the distobuccal and mesiobuccal roots), and significant increases in the palatal bone thickness of the same tooth were found (p<0.0125).
