Prevalence and Morphology of MB2 Canals in Maxillary Molars by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Rate of Treatment in Endodontic Practice with Pre-operative CBCT Images

The morphology of maxillary molars has been extensively studied, particularly the prevalence of a second mesiobuccal (MB2) root canal. Despite of this effort, the high failure rate of root canal treated maxillary molars remains tightly associated with untreated MB2 canals. There is a significant increase in the incidence of MB2 canals in retreatment cases, suggesting that these canals are frequently missed in the initial treatment [1].
