Treating aberrant root morphology in maxillary molars is complex. This case report details the endodontic treatment of a unique four-rooted maxillary molar with a quadrangular root trunk.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Dental Morphology

Background:

  • Aberrant root morphology in maxillary molars presents significant diagnostic and technical challenges in endodontic therapy.
  • Understanding variations in root anatomy is crucial for successful endodontic outcomes.

Observation:

  • This case report focuses on a maxillary molar exhibiting an unusual four-rooted structure.
  • The molar presented with a distinctive quadrangular root trunk morphology.

Findings:

  • The report illustrates the step-by-step endodontic treatment procedure for this complex case.
  • Successful management of the aberrant root anatomy was achieved through meticulous technique.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of advanced diagnostic imaging and careful instrumentation in treating complex root canal systems.
