Endodontic therapy of mandibular molars is a challenging task due to its varied root canal morphology. A mandibular first molar with additional buccal root (Radix paramolaris) and additional distolingual root (Radix Entomolaris) is an example of its varied anatomy. A successful management of atypical root canal configurations is an important aspect in determining the success rate of root canal therapy. The detail knowledge of the root morphology and canal anatomy allows the clinician for accurate location of the extra roots and canals and accordingly the refinement of the access cavity for the stress free entry of complex anatomy. Hence, for a successful root canal therapy, clinician must be aware of the external and internal anatomic variations .The aim of this clinical case report is to present and describe the unusual presence of two separate mesial roots and six root canals in mandibular first molar, detected during routine endodontic therapy.Kathmandu Univ Med J 2013; 11(4): 338-341

A thorough knowledge and understanding of the root canal morphology including the variations is important for the successful outcome of endodontic treatment. The success of an endodontic treatment depends on the eradication of microbes from the root-canal system and prevention of re-infection [1] . The variations in mandibular first molar involves the number of roots, the number of root canals, and morphology. Radix entomolaris and the radix paramolaris are the additional root located lingually and buccally respectively [2] . This case report discusses endodontic treatment of a mandibular first molar with a radix entomolaris and pulp stone.

ABSTRACT Aim This clinical report presents a rare case of maxillary central incisor with two separate roots. Background Unusual morphology of the roots and root canals may exist in any tooth. Recognition of the dental anatomy and its variations is necessary for successful endodontic therapy. It is well known that maxillary incisors are usually single-rooted teeth. Case report The root canals were instrumented with conventional hand files and Gates Glidden and obturated by using the lateral technique. Recall radiograph after 1 year shows the healing process of the preoperative apical periodontitis. Conclusion and clinical significance Clinicians should be aware of unexpected root canal morphology when performing root canal therapy. The present case demonstrated the importance of accurate preoperative radiograph and adequate access preparation. How to cite this article Maghsoudlou A, Jafarzadeh H, Forghani M.

ABSTRACT Limited data reports the occurrence of three or more canals in distal roots of mandibular first permanent molars. This paper presents and discusses a clinical report of root canal therapy in a permanent mandibular first molar and empahasises on the utilisation of magnification for the assessment, and acquaintance of the possible canal configuration, alongwith the management of middle distal canal of permanent mandibular first molar.

The purpose of this study was to determine the variations in the number of canals and its morphology in permanent mandibular first molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a subset of Indian population. A total of 350 CBCT scans were collected and evaluated in all three orthogonal planes to determine the number of root canals and study their anatomic variations using Vertucci’s classification.: The total number of roots and root canals, the root canal configuration, the incidence, and the correlations between left- and right-side occurrences and between males and females were analysed. Statistically significant differences were evaluated using the chi-square test with SPSS 16.0 for Windows (SPSS, Chicago, IL), with significance set at p < 0.05.: The results of this study showed that predominantly, two thirds of the subjects had type VI mesial canal configuration and two-thirds had type I distal canal configuration. Also there was significant variance in the canal anatomy across gender and age of the subjects.: CBCT is a clinically useful tool in understanding the variations in root canal morphology, which guides in the assessment of the canal morphology aiding in successful root canal treatment.

This paper reports the case of a maxillary left first molar that presented three root canals in the mesiobuccal root. Root canal therapy and case management are described. Features like wide crown access, adequate illumination and use of exploring files where important for successful completion of the endodontic treatment.

Root canal treatment of tooth with aberrant root canal morphology is very challenging. So thorough knowledge of both the external and internal anatomy of teeth is an important aspect of root canal treatment. With the advancement in technology it is imperative to use modern diagnostic tools such as magnification devices, CBCT, microscopes, and RVG to confirm the presence of these aberrant configurations. However, in everyday endodontic practice, clinicians have to treat teeth with atypical configurations for root canal treatment to be successful. This case report presents the management of a mandibular first molar with six root canals, four in mesial and two in distal root, and also emphasizes the use and importance of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic tool in endodontics.

One of the major causes of root canal treatment failure is inability to find and manage an extra canal (s). For achieving successful endodontic therapy, knowledge of root canal morphology and variations in the root is important. The purpose of this case report is to report a rare case of maxillary canine with two root canals. It describes the treatment of a permanent maxillary left canine having an additional canal (Vertucci’s Type II canal configuration) present in a 48 year old female patient. Clinical examination revealed a maxillary canine with a previously initiated access. Radiographic examination revealed a previously initiated access in left maxillary canine, having an additional canal. Keywords: Endodontic treatment, maxillary canine, root canal anatomy, two root canals.

Success in root canal treatment is achieved after thorough cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal system. This clinical case describes conventional root canal treatment of an unusual mandibular first molar with six root canals. The prognosis for endodontic treatment in teeth with abnormal morphology is unfavorable if the clinician fails to recognize extra root canals.

Maxillary first premolar is a bi-rooted tooth with several variations in the root canal morphology. Usually it has 2 canals, however at times there could be an additional third canal present which could easily be missed by the clinician owing to lack of awareness and knowledge about the canal variations. Awareness of internal and external anatomy of tooth and also about its variations are essential for successful endodontic therapy. Prevalence of three canals in maxillary premolar is very low. This case report describes the endodontic management of permanent maxillary premolars with three root canals
