ABSTRACT
Irregular root configurations which often challenge the requirements of successful root canal treatments are always misleading doctors to incorrect clinical judgments and treatment planning. In this article we describe a rare case of CBCT C-shaped mandibular premolar with a huge area of invagination measuring 6 mm ´ 3 mm, which we termed a "radicular rift valley" from a 76-year-old man. Considering the complex process of differential diagnosis, the overall status of disease condition and the will of the patient we proposed five treatment plans and finally conservatively chose plan B composed of both RCT and periapical scaling. A related literature review is also added into this article to describe the whole situation of root invagination, to stress the importance of the vigilance of diagnosis and to provide reference views for future similar diseases.
RESUMEN
Las configuraciones radiculares irregulares que a menudo desafían las exigencias de un tratamiento de canal radicular exitoso, son siempre engañosas llevando al especialista a juicios clínicos y planificación de tratamientos erróneos. En este artículo se describe, en un hombre de 76 años de edad, un raro caso de un premolar mandibular que mediante CBCT se observa la forma de C con un área enorme de invaginación midiendo 6 mm x 3 mm, lo que hemos denominado un "Rift valley radicular ". Teniendo en cuenta el complejo proceso de diagnóstico diferencial, el estado general de enfermedad y la voluntad del paciente, se propusieron cinco planes de tratamiento y, finalmente, se eligió el plan B conservador compuesto por el tratamiento del canal radicular y tratamiento periapical. Una revisión de la literatura relacionada se añade en este artículo para describir las situación de invaginación radicular, haciendo hincapié en la importancia del diagnóstico y para proporcionar referencias para enfermedades similares futuras.
