Association between proximal caries and pulp canal obliteration in maxillary molars: A cone-beam computed tomography-based retrospective study.

The DB root may experience stress patterns that promote tertiary dentin deposition or canal calcification, independent of caries.[ 15 ] The proximity to the furcation area and differences in dentinal tubule density may affect the dissemination of irritation and the ensuing odontoblastic response.[ 16 ] The trend toward significance ( P ≈ 0.064) further substantiates the therapeutic relevance of this result, despite the absence of statistical significance.
