Anatomy of upper third molar roots

The upper third molar, also known as the maxillary third molar, typically has three roots: a palatal root and two buccal roots (mesiobuccal and distobuccal), though the exact root morphology can vary greatly between individuals, often with fused roots or irregular shapes due to its variable anatomy; this means it can sometimes have only one or two roots depending on the case.
