3D reconstruction of two C-shape mandibular molars.
Two mandibular second molars, with an indication of C-shape morphology were processed for 3-D reconstruction. After serial cross sectioning, photographs of the sections were digitized and by using surface representation, 3D reconstruction was achieved. The first molar as the 3D reconstruction showed was single rooted with one C-shaped root canal with two foramens, while the second one was double rooted with two root canals, one C-shaped and one thin, having a common foramen.
