TRATAMENTO ENDODÔNTICO EM MOLAR COM VARIAÇÃO ANATÔMICA: um relato de caso clínico

Abstract

Endodontics deals with restoring the shape and function of the tooth, seeking to maintain adequate periradicular condition. Via chemical and mechanical methods, such as sanitizing the root canals, modeling and subsequent filling of the root canal with biocompatible filling material, the removal of the infectious condition and dental inflammation is expected. One of the variations commonly found in relation to a dental element is related to the number of roots or root canals. An atypical anatomical pattern requires care, careful radiographic analysis and appropriate endodontic techniques in order to reduce therapeutic difficulties and achieve successful treatment. The present study is a case report carried out in a dental clinic belonging to a higher education institution located in the city of Inhumas, Goiás. The case study focused on a patient in need of endodontic treatment on an upper second molar. on the left side with anatomical variation. This dental element can present several anatomical variations, including the possibility of containing two to six root canals. This diversity represents a challenge of considerable relevance that ends up making it difficult to adequately prepare the channel.
