Figure 1

Burmese maxillary first molars with Vertucci’s type II canal in the mesiobuccal root. (a) Mesiobuccal root shows Vertucci’s type II canal with the lateral canal at the apical third, while distobuccal and palatal roots show Vertucci’s type I without lateral canal. (b) Mesiobuccal root shows Vertucci’s type II canal with sheet complete isthmus at the coronal and middle thirds, while palatal and distobuccal roots show Vertucci’s type I canal. (c) Both mesiobuccal and distobuccal roots show Vertucci’s type II canal, while palatal root shows Vertucci’s type I canal with a lateral canal at the apical third.
