Retreatment of a 6-Canalled Mandibular First Molar with Four Mesial Canals: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Successful root canal treatment requires adequate knowledge regarding morphologic variations in root canal system of teeth. This report describes a six-canalled mandibular first molar with four mesial root canals requiring endodontic retreatment. The two additional canals in the mesial root were found during retreatment with the aid of illumination and magnification. In conclusion, the possibility of atypical morphology and additional canals should never be overlooked.

The main objective of endodontic therapy is the thorough mechanical and chemical cleansing of the entire root canal system and its complete obturation with an inert filling material. Failure to find and fill a canal contributes toward the failure of endodontic therapy .The root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars is complex. Studies of the morphologic structure of root canal systems hav...

Introdouction: Variations in root canal morphology pose a challenge for successful endodontic treatment. The root canal anatomy of the maxillary first molar has been often described as three roots with four canals (two mesiobuccal, one distobuccal, and one palatal). The occurrence of two palatal canals in one palatal root is quite rare. This report represents the case of a maxillary first molar...

Knowledge of both normal and abnormal anatomy of the root canal system can directly affect the outcome of the endodontic therapy. This paper describes the nonsurgical endodontic management of the rare anatomical configuration middle mesial canal in previously treated mandibular first molar. After coronal access, the gutta-percha was eliminated. In precise examination of groove between two mesia...

Thorough cleaning and shaping and followed by three-dimensional obturation is secret to successful clinical endodontics. Therefore, it is imperative that aberrant anatomy should be identified before and during root canal treatment. Multiple case reports of aberrant canals morphology in the mesial root of mandibular first molar have been documented. However, fewer studies have discussed the occu...

INTRODUCTION The root canal treatment of a mandibular molar with aberrant canal configuration can be diagnostically and technically challenging. METHODS This case report presents the clinical management of a mandibular first molar with three separate mesial canals including middle mesial canal, which was confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. RESULTS Posttreatment images ...
