概要 The aim of this study was to investigate root canal configurations in maxillary first and second molars from a Japanese population, as well as the relationship between the root canal number and root concavity depth, using micro-computed tomography. Maxillary first (N = 74) and second (N = 70) molars from a Japanese population were used. Mesiobuccal (MB) roots were categorized into Group 1 (with a single root canal) or Group 2 (with two or more root canals). Approximately 51% and 35% of the MB roots in the three-rooted maxillary first and second molars, respectively, had two or more root canals. Close clinical monitoring is needed during the removal of calculus and cleaning of the root surfaces of maxillary first molars: specifically, excessive removal of cementum and dentin should be avoided, particularly when the molar has already undergone root canal treatment.
