This image shows a typical apical transportation that occurs when the merging is located in the more apical part or the canals, so shaping from two different directions will create a drop-shaped foramen and parallel walls. Early diagnosis can be done by different methods in different steps of an endodontic treatment. With traditional intra-oral Rx there is no possibility of understanding the anatomical configuration of a tooth. Sometimes patients listed for endodontic treatment might already have a CB-CT scan available (for previous treatments such as implant positioning or wisdom tooth extraction). In these cases clinicians have the possibility to visualize the anatomy prior to performing the treatment.
It is very important to understand the anatomy and to respect the root canal configuration in order not to transport the foramen, not to strip and weaken the root, and not to fracture an endodontic instrument.
Early diagnosis is the solution to face this kind of situations in a safe, predictable way.
