Endodontic management of an aberrant germinated composite odontome: A case report

To describe the endodontic treatment of a germinated composite odontome with atypical internal anatomy. A 35-year-old male presented with pain in the left mandibular second molar region. Intraoral examination and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) revealed a rare case of a germinated composite odontome with a 3-2-1 Vertucci configuration in the mesial root. Occlusal morphology and mesial root configuration required modifications in methods of isolation and access cavity preparation. Contemporary tools like magnification, ultrasonics and controlled memory rotary files were essential for executing the treatment plan. The tooth was functional at 18 months follow up and radiographs revealed no abnormality.
