Abstract

Background:  The "hidden" internal root anatomy is the only unpredictable factor of an endodontic treatment; however, the knowledge of the "normal" pulp system and its most frequent variability is basic for a clinical success. It is generally accepted that a major cause for failure of root canal therapy is an inability to recognize the presence of, and to adequately treat, all of the canals in the root canal system .However, the presence of two canals in two-rooted maxillary first molar has rarely been documented in the literature. The present case report discusses the endodontic management of an unusual case of a maxillary first molar with two roots and two canals and the role of CBCT to confirm the presence of number of roots and root canals.

Keywords: Maxillary molar, permanent, CBCT, maxillary molar with 2 canals, variation.
