Abstract

Introduction: The C-shaped molar is an anatomical variation that, due to its characteristics and peculiarities, deserves meticulous attention when performing endodontic treatment. Objective and case reports: This study aimed to discuss the characteristics of the morphological changes that occur in this type of anatomy of the Root Canal System, reporting some clinical cases of endodontic treatment of the second molar with this anomaly. Conclusion: Good planning of all stages of treatment is essential to achieve the success of endodontic therapy in the treatment of "C" shaped molars.
