Abstract

Endodontic treatment is aimed at preventing apical periodontitis and facilitating bone healing. A comprehensive understanding of root canal morphology and its variations is crucial for achieving a successful treatment outcome. Accurate diagnosis and effective management of cases exhibiting atypical root canal morphology can be enhanced through the assessment of periapical radiographs from various angles, the application of advanced magnification techniques, and the utilization of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanning. The occurrence of two palatal canals in the maxillary first and second molars constitutes a rare finding. This case report documents two instances of maxillary molars exhibiting two palatal canals.
