Root canal morphology of maxillary second premolars for patients attending ajman university

The internal anatomy is a complex system and root canal morphology varies between teeth, especially in maxillary second premolars.

The purpose of this present study is to identify the variations in root and root canal morphology of the upper second premolar.

A retrospective study on 197 maxillary second premolars, which have had an endodontic treatment in Ajman University in the Academic Year 2018/2019. Intraoral periapical (IOPA) radiograph was reviewed for identifying the number of root canals.

The incidence of two canals in the maxillary second premolars was very high 78.7%, and the internal anatomy is complex and highly variable.

A straightforward message to the clinicians to be careful in their evaluation and to take care whenever an upper maxillary second premolar is to be treated endodontically.
