Abstract

This case study explains the peculiar shape of the first seven root canals of a maxillary molar. On the second appointment, the seven canals (MB1, MB2, and MB3, 2 Palatal, and DB1 and DB2) could be clearly seen at high magnification under an operating microscope in the young male patient's maxillary right first molar. The patient had endodontic treatment. The canals were obturated and instrumented thereafter. Every molar tooth has more than the customary three canals, which should be noted. Under a strong magnification, the position of root canals should be marked with a microscope. Finding any potentially missing canals requires a careful radiographic re-examination of the fillings
