The mesiobuccal root of the upper molars usually presents anatomical complexities that limit the correct cleaning and shaping. This results in treatments with a high incidence of failure, which is why knowledge of the internal anatomy is essential. The presence of three main canals in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary molars is infrequent, which can make root canal treatment difficult. A clinical case of a maxillary left first molar with three mesiobuccal canals is presented here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
