Fulltext PDFAim: To assess the prevalence of the second Mesiobuccal (MB2) canal in the MB root of permanent maxillary first molars in a Saudi sub-population using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This study was executed on CBCT images of Saudi patients seen at Regional Dental Centre, Ministry of Health (Hafar Al Batin). A total of 470 maxillary first molars were evaluated using CBCT software. The presence and prevalence of MB2 was calculated in terms of age, gender and tooth position. Result: Statistically analysis of the data using Chi square test was done. Prevalence of MB2 canal in three rooted maxillary permanent first molar was 61.7%. Prevalence was highest in 20 to 40 years of age group. It was followed by >40 years and lowest in <20 years and difference was statistically significant (p=0.005). There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence based on gender and tooth position. Conclusion: There is a high probability of finding MB2 canal in Saudi population.
