Anatomic variations can complicate the steps of identifying, negotiating and managing aberrant canals thereby affecting the prognosis of endodontic treatment. The C shaped configuration is one such variation that often poses a challenge in debridement and obturation. Recent advances in radiography, magnification, irrigation and obturation techniques aid effective management of C shaped root canals. This article presents the management of two cases with C shaped canals using CBCT imaging, ultrasonic irrigation and thermoplasticized obturation techniques. 04 25 2022 1 3 1 10.31254/BIOMED-CROSSMARK-POLICY www.biomedresearch.org false 10.31254/dentistry.2022.7101 http://www.dentistryscience.com/IJDR_202271_01.pdf
