Teeth, either erupted or impacted, that exceed the normal count are known as supernumerary teeth. They can appear unilaterally or bilaterally, singly or in multiples, and may be located anywhere in both dental arches. Multiple permanent impacted supernumerary teeth are uncommon and are often associated to syndromes but can be idiopathic.

Background Anatomical variations in the mandibular first molars can significantly impact endodontic outcomes. The presence of additional roots, such as the distolingual radix entomolaris (RE) and the mesiobuccal radix paramolaris (RP), complicates endodontic procedures. Traditional radiographs often fail to detect these variations due to their inherent limitations.

The root canal systems of maxillary first molar (MFM) and maxillary second molar (MSM) variations represent a clinical challenge for endodontists, especially the prevalence of fused C-shaped roots. Having a thorough knowledge of root canal configuration is an extremely important point for a successful root canal treatment to avoid missing extra canals. The aim of this article was to present 2 cases of maxillary molar with an unusual C-shaped configuration diagnosed during root canal retreatment/treatment and conduct a literature review of the MFM and MSM anatomy.
