abstract

a mandibular first molar requiring root canal therapy was found with five canals, three mesial canals, and two distal canals. initially, four canals (mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, distobuccal, and distolingual) were identified. the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals were found in their normal locations, and a fifth canal was noted between these two. this case demonstrates a rare anatomical configuration and supplements previous reports of the existence of such configurations in mandibular first molars.

Root canal treatment of permanent mandibular first molar with six root canals: a rare case

The awareness of internal dental morphology is an excessively critical step in management of endodontic therapy. [1] The mandibular first molar, the earliest permanent tooth to erupt is assumed to be the tooth that mostly creates need for root canal treatment. The most common root canal morphology of the mandibular first molar is the presence of two canals in the mesial root and one or two cana...

Endodontic treatment of a mandibular first premolar with three root canals: a case report

Background: A correct diagnosis of the morphology of the root canal system is crucial in order to ensure a successful root canal treatment. The incidence of mandibular first premolars with three root canals has been reported to be low. This clinical case report describes a case of a successful nonsurgical endodontic management of a mandibular first premolar with three root canals. Case present...

Endodontic Retreatment of a Maxillary First Molar with Unusual Palatal Root Canal Morphology: A Case Report

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...

Mandibular molar with five root canals.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the importance of knowledge of the internal anatomy of root canals for the success of endodontic treatment. Lack of knowledge of anatomic variations and their characteristics in different teeth has been pointed out as one of the main causes of endodontic therapy failure. In this report, the authors describe the endodontic treatment of a mandibular fi...
