Abstract

The main objective of root canal treatment is thorough cleaning and shaping of the entire pulp space and its complete filling with an inert filling material. A major cause of post-treatment disease is the inability to locate, debride, or adequately fill all canals of the root canal system. The form, configuration, and number of root canals in the maxillary first molars have been discussed for more than half a century. Maxillary first molar present with three roots and three canals with occurrence of second mesiobuccal canal between 18-96%. With the advent of improved magnification, there are reports of multiple root canals in the maxillary first molars. Non-surgical endodontic therapy of a left maxillary first molar with three roots and seven root canals was successfully performed under a dental operating microscope. The diagnosis of multiple root canals was confirmed with the help of cone beam computed tomography images.
