Abstract:

This study determined the type of canal configuration in mesiobuccal root of permanent maxillary first molar among the Bangladeshi population. Fifty permanent maxillary first molar teeth undergoing endodontic treatment were studied. Access cavities were made in all teeth for identifying the first and second mesiobuccal canals (MB1 and MB2 canals). Ultrasonic tips & magnification loupes (x2.5) were used to open the subpulpal groove from the MB1 canal towards the palatal canal to locate the MB2 canal. Dentin was carefully removed at the expense of the mesial wall. If an MB2 canal was identified, size 08 or 10 or 15 K-files were inserted into the canals. RVG was taken to confirm the presence, and canal configurations in the mesiobuccal root were determined. Chi-square test was applied to evaluate any association between the presence of a second mesiobuccal canal with other variables (p<0.05). The results showed that 30% were type I, 36% were type II, 20% were type III, and 14% were not defined canal configuration in the mesiobuccal root. It can be concluded that type II and type I canal configuration are more frequently encountered than type III and type IV in the mesiobuccal root.
