Deep Split

This case involved a tooth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, presenting with narrow canals and a relatively calcified pulp chamber. Such clinical situations demand careful exploration and magnification, as hidden anatomy is often present. Following the principle of “expect the unexpected,” meticulous inspection under the dental microscope revealed a deep split configuration. Confluent canals were identified, adding complexity to both the shaping and obturation phases. During master cone selection and fitting, each cone was inserted separately due to the close proximity of the canals. This step was critical to ensure proper adaptation and avoid procedural errors. The obturation sequence was carried out with precision, and gutta-percha was sectioned at the orifice level to achieve a clean and well-sealed pulp chamber. The…
