Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how often a fourth canal, called the mesiolingual canal, is found in the mesiobuccal roots of maxillary first molars through five different visualization techniques.
- In a sample of 73 maxillary first molars, various tools including clinical probes, magnifying glasses, surgical microscopes, and microtomography were used to examine the presence of this canal.
- Results showed a high success rate, with the mesiolingual canal identified in 95.8% of teeth, indicating the effectiveness of advanced visualization methods over traditional ones for locating complex root canal systems.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate apical transportation (AT), centering ratio (CR), and volume increase (VI) produced after instrumentation of mesiobuccal canals of maxillary molars with hand files, rotary, and reciprocating instruments using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) imaging and to demonstrate the ability of digital subtraction radiography (DSR) to evaluate AT.
Methods: Forty-five canals were randomly assigned to either group K, manual K-files; PTN, ProTaper Next (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland); or Rec, Reciproc (n = 15 for each group) for preparation. Master apical files were #25, X2 (#25/06), and R25 (#25/08), respectively.
