    Study Notes

    Endodontics

    • Endodontic treatment of posterior teeth takes more time and effort due to their complexity and multi-rooted structure
    • Posterior teeth have more canals as you move further back in the mouth, making treatment more challenging
    • Key guidelines for locating canals and exploring the law of symmetry are discussed
    • Pulp anatomy of molars is a focus
    • Pulp chambers become larger and more complex posteriorly with increased canal numbers and accessory canals
    • Krasner and Rankow (2004) guidelines for 3D assessment of pulp chamber anatomy help clinicians determine the number and location of orifices on the chamber floor
    • Upper molars are exceptions in following symmetry rules
    • Cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is a crucial landmark to determine the location of pulp chambers and root canal orifices
    • Law of Centrality: Pulp chamber floor situated at CEJ center, exceeding this could cause perforation
    • Law of Concentricity: Pulp chamber walls concentric to tooth's external surface at CEJ level
    • Pulp chamber shape mirrors external tooth structure at CEJ level
    • Law of Symmetry (exceptions for maxillary molars): Root canals equidistant and perpendicular from a line through the chamber floor
    • 3D canal relationships; law of color (darker floor)
    • Root canal orifices typically situated at the junction of walls and floor
    • Root canal orifices are at the terminus of root developmental fusion lines
    • C-shaped canals are typically associated with lower second molars
    • Single or two roots can meet
    • Lower molars usually have 3 roots: 2 mesial, 1 distal
    • Caries is a common cause of pulp infection in molars
    • Caries removal crucial before endodontic treatment
    • Leaving caries behind during root canal treatment is a common mistake
    • Maxillary first molars do not follow symmetry laws
    • Anatomical landmarks: Oblique ridge
    • Maxillary first molars are typically three rooted with 4 canals (one in the mesiobuccal root)
    • 2 buccal roots; 1 palatal root
    • Second canal (MB2) present in 90% of cases
    • Canal configurations can vary (types II, IV)
    • Pulp chamber quadrilateral, wider buccopalatally than mesiodistally
    • Pulp horns: mesiobuccal, mesiopalatal, distobuccal, distopalatal; mesiobuccal is the longest and sharpest
    • Pulp floor apical to cervical line
    • Pulp orifices funnel shaped, symmetrically placed. Mesiobuccal closer to buccal than distobuccal. Palatal in middle
    • The distobuccal and palatal canals leave the pulp chamber in a distal direction; the distobuccal canal normally curves mesially in the apical half of the root
    • In 50% of roots, the canal curves buccally in the apical portion
    • Secondary dentine accumulates on pulp chamber roof as teeth age
    • Access cavity preparation should remove pulp chamber roof without damage to floor
    • Marginal ridges should only be disturbed if affected by caries or restorations
    • Maxillary second molars similar to first, but fewer canals, less divergent roots, fusion is more frequent
    • Mandibular first molar(s) usually two-rooted, 3 canals, mesiobuccal is difficult to instrument; mesial canal in 40-45% of cases has only one foramen
    • Mandibular second molar smaller version of the first, similar configuration, but more frequent fusion and C-shaped canal
    • Maxillary third molars have variable morphology, potentially fused roots, potentially less predictable pulp space.
    • Errors during access cavity preparation: failure to remove pulp horns, gouging of labial wall, labial cervical perforation, large or wide access, furcation perforation, access being too big, access being too small, incomplete deroofing
