Access To Root Canal System :Posterior teeth BDS 8127 Date : xx / xx / xxxx Aims: The educational aims of this lecture are to explain the pulp space morphology of posterior teeth to eastablish an understanding of the shape of access to root canals in those teeth Objectives: On completion of this lecture, the student should have an understanding of how to assess the root canal system in posterior teeth keeping in mind the pulp space morphology Pulp Space Morphology of Premolar Teeth Pulp anatomy: 1-Number of roots. 2- Number of root canals. 3- Number of pulp horns. 4- Access cavity and outline form 5-Mesiodistal dimension and bucco-lingual dimension. 6- Cross section of the root. Maxillary 1st Premolar 1- Number of roots: •Two roots 60% •One root 38% •Three roots 2% 2- Root canal type: Two roots : each has type I One root: type III most frequent type II less frequent type I the least frequent Three root each has type I 3- Number of pulp horns: Two pulp horns (buccal more prominent than palatal) 4-Access cavity preparation & outline form: Oval in shape on the occlusal surface. 5-Mesiodistal dimension and buccolingual dimension • Buccolingual view is wider than mesiodistal one. • Mesio distal direction narrow resembling the upper canine. 6- Root Cross-section Cervical third: oval, kidney shape or figure 8 shape being wider B-L than M-D. Middle third :slightly ovoid.

Apical third: round cross section Type I cervical middle Apical Access Cavity Preparation for Premolar Teeth (Step by Step) Coronal cavity preparation of maxillary and mandibular premolars: • The initial penetration is carried out on the occlusal surface in the center of the central groove. • • • A regular length round bur is aligned parallel to long access of the tooth. Deroofing and extending the cavity buccolingually is then carried out using a round bur or tapered stone with round end or EndoZ bur. Working from inside the chamber to the outside • • Flaring, smoothening and finishing of the cavity are achieved using tapered stone or EndoZ bur. Care should be given to keep the mesiodistal dimension narrow to avoid perforation at the cervical region Oval Ovoid Errors in Access cavity Preparation Pulp Space Morphology of Molar Teeth Maxillary 1st Molar 1-Number of roots. 2- Number of root canals. 3- Number of pulp horns 4- Access cavity and outline form Shape triangle base buccally or quadrilateral MB orifice: under MB cusp tip DB orifice: 2mm distal & palatal to MB P orifice: base of ML cusp (same straight line palatal to DB orifice Extra canal: MB2 (in a groove mesial and palatal to MB1 tail of a coma) 5-Mesiodistal dimension and bucco-lingual dimension. 6- Cross section of the root. P MB DB D 96% II, M III Mesial 2/3 Mesial 2/3 Triangular Rhomboid MB orifice DB orifice MB2 orifice P orifice Maxillary 2nd Molar 1-Number of roots. 2- Number of root canals. 3- Number of pulp horns. 4- Access cavity and outline form Shape triangle base buccally MB orifice: under MB cusp tip DB orifice: 2mm distal & palatal to MB P orifice: Base of ML cusp (same straight line palatal to DB orifice) 5-Mesiodistal dimension and bucco-lingual dimension. 6- Cross section of the root. 3 Roots: 90% ,2 Roots: 10% B & P 1 Root: extremely rare Mandibular 1st Molar 1-Number of roots. 2- Number of root canals. 3- Number of pulp horns 4- Access cavity and outline form Shape triangle base mesially or quadrilateral MB orifice: under MB cusp tip ML orifice: 2mm lingual to MB D orifice: 1mm distal to central fossa Extra canal: 2 distal canals (DB & DL) 5-Mesiodistal dimension and bucco-lingual dimension. 6- Cross section of the root. 2Roots (M+D) Mesial root: 90%III , 10%II (MB, ML) Distal root: 60% I , 40%II, III (DB, DL) M D MB ML Mandibular 2nd Molar 1-Number of roots. 2- Number of root canals.
