AI Article Synopsis
- Multiple canals in teeth are common, and missing a canal during treatment can lead to failure.
- Successful endodontic treatment begins with accessing the pulp chamber and thoroughly locating all root canals.
- The case study discusses a 22-year-old woman with a maxillary first molar that has five root canals, highlighting the importance of recognizing variations in root canal anatomy.
Article Abstract
Multiple canals in the root are part of the normal morphology of the tooth. A canal may sometimes be overlooked, however, and this may lead to failure of treatment. The first step in successful endodontic treatment, therefore, is gaining access to the pulp chamber and locating all the canals. In order to achieve this goal, practitioners need to be familiar with all possible variations in root canal morphology, and should thoroughly explore roots to ensure that all canals are identified, debrided, and obturated. Here, we report the diagnosis, treatment planning, and endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with five root canals, including two distobuccal root canals, in a 22-year-old woman.
