Abstract
|
|
|
|
Molar-incisor malformation (MIM) is a newly discovered dental anomaly, which is characterized by molar root malformation and incisor crown defect. This type of tooth anomaly involves root malformation in permanent first molars and deciduous second molars, often accompanying coronal defects on both maxillary central incisors. This case report presents nonsurgical endodontic treatment of a MIM-affected molar. Although conventional endodontic treatment of MIM-affected tooth can be challenging, the aid of conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) reformatted axial views of the tooth enabled successful management in this case.
