Case report: Root canal treatment of maxillary second molar with a C - shaped distal buccal root: Is it a fused tooth?
The periapical inflammation of the fused tooth was cured after root canal treatment, demonstrating its effectiveness as a conservative alternative to extraction for similar anomalies. Future cases should focus on thorough assessment, patient education, and long-term follow-up.
