Radiographic Impression:The maxillary right first molar is root treated. There appears to be an area of resorptive change adjacent to the CEJ on the mesial lingual surface of the palatal root. Small periapical radiolucencies are also noted associated with the apices of the buccal roots, with a larger periapical radiolucency associated with the palatal root.
