Surgical treatment of a three-rooted maxillary second premolar. Report of a case. 1987

R A Barkhordar, and J Sapone

This article discusses surgical treatment of a maxillary second premolar with three roots. Conventional endodontic therapy was not possible because of complete calcification of the root canal systems. Apicoectomies and retrograde amalgam filling were performed on all roots, resulting in successful treatment.

D014092	Tooth Root	The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots.
