| Summary: | Maxillary first molars are distinguished for their numerous anatomical variations including the single root with a single canal, the presence of additional canals or the fusion. Fusion is an uncommon morphological variation that often occurs in deciduous anteriors but in the permanent maxillary first molars, it is rarely observed. Management of such diversions requires magnification, refinement in every step such as in access cavity preparation, cleaning-shaping and modification in the technique of obturation. The reported case enlightens the endodontic management of maxillary first molar exhibiting the fusion with the supernumerary tooth diagnosed using a Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). |
