Abstract

The field of medicine is an ever changing science undergoing continuing tremendous development. A better understanding of art and science of endodontics have accelerated the introduction of various treatment modalities that has made the field flourish in the aspect of prognosis of different dental problems. Root canal treatment on a global basis has reported to be increasing as well, hence in this current scenario it is important for the clinician to have a thorough knowledge regarding the root canal anatomy and morphology for a successful treatment outcome. In this study we have attempted to assess and understand the influence of accessory canals in maxillary molars under 25 years of age and its influence on gender. The study was carried out in a university setting where the patient records were reviewed and analysed and a data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020 was collected and compiled, reviewed, tabulated, and exported to the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) software for statistical analysis. A statistically significant data was not obtained from the study, but the data has remarkable clinical significance. Within the limitations of the study it has been found that 8% of the total entries analysed were indicated with accessory canals and a future extensive research involving a larger data will help in the diagnosis and treatment planning for the root canal of maxillary molars.

Key words: Accessory canals; Endodontic treatment; Gender; Maxillary molars.
