Root Trifurcation of Upper Permanent Second Molars: Anatomical Aspects of Clinical Interest

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship among the point of greatest depression on the root trifurcation floor and the furcation openings of the maxillary second molars. Sixty human extracted upper permanent second molars were analyzed and the furcation area were measured using a vertic...

Sixty human extracted upper permanent second molars were analyzed and the furcation area were measured using a vertical calliper, and the values regarding the point of deepest depression were recorded.
