Geometric features of second mesiobuccal canal in permanent maxillary first molars: a cone-beam computed tomography study

Background/purpose: Inadequacy to locate the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) canal leads to the highest probability of endodontic failure in permanent maxillary first molars (PMFMs) and still remains a constant challenge for many clinicians. The aim of this study was to characterize the geometrical f...
