RESUMO
Dental anatomical anomalies having a significant impact on endodontic diagnosis and treatment are the talon cusp, tuberculated premolars, three-rooted mandibular molars, and C-shaped molars. Asian and Pacific Islander ethnic groups have the highest percentage of these dental anatomical anomalies compared to the general population. As the population of Asians and Pacific Islanders continues to grow in California and other western states, dentists should be aware of the diagnostic and treatment complexities associated with specific patient groups.

Information obtained from careful observation of stainless-steel hand file deformation can be a critical step in efficient root canal space debridement. Secondary and tertiary canal curvatures that occur most often in the proximal view have been reported in the literature. Except in teeth that are clinically rotated, there is currently no method for observing the proximal view of root canal systems. This article presents a simple clinical procedure for detecting the three-dimensional anatomy of root canal spaces. We refer to the procedure as file molding.
