Endodontic Treatment of 3-Rooted Maxillary First Premolar (Radiculous 3): A Case Report

The most common canal configuration for the maxillary first premolar is Vertucci’s type IV (two separate canals in one root) with a frequency of about 60–65%. Another canal morphology, Vertucci’s type V, with one canal that extends from the pulp chamber to mid-root, where it divides into two canals, can be found in 6–7% of cases. In about 8–9% of cases, the maxillary first premolar can have one canal and in 16–18%, two canals joining into one. Furthermore, maxillary first premolars can have three canals (mesio-buccal [MB], disto-buccal [DB], and palatal) in 2.5–5% of cases with a canal and root disposition so similar to that of adjacent first molars that they are sometimes called “Small Molars” or “Radiculous 3”. In case of three root canals this third canal can be missed easily. To avoid errors, a careful examination of the radiograph and pulp chamber floor should be performed, looking for the position and symmetry of canal orifices. This case series describes the endodontic treatment of maxillary first premolars with three root canals. In these cases true knowledge of tooth morphology, properly evaluate diagnostic x-rays and access cavity preparation could help successful root canal treatment.
