“…6 Although cone-beam computer tomography provides undistorted 3D images of the root canal anatomy, 10 periapical radiographs were the only aid used in most reported cases found with four canals in the mesial root. 6,7,9,11,12,18 In the present case, only periapical radiographs at different horizontal angles were taken, which provides information that gets even more accurate when combined with clinical findings. 1 One of the etiological factors for root resorptions with reduced root length is the force applied during orthodontic treatment.…”

The mandibular first molar usually has a mesial root with two root canals and a distal root with one or two root canals. However, variations in this morphology, such as multiple root canals, may occur. A 20-year-old male patient presented with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in the left mandibular region. Based on clinical and radiographic exams, the diagnosis of symptomatic apical periodontitis was established. Initially, two root canals in the mesial root and two in the distal root of tooth #36 were located and negotiated using a dental operating microscope. After further exploration, two more root canals were located in the mesial root. The six root canals were prepared. For the final rinse, the irrigant solutions were agitated with an ultrasonic tip. Calcium hydroxide dressing was used, and one month later, the patient presented without signs or symptoms. The root canal filling was performed using the single-cone technique with gutta--percha cones and bioceramic endodontic sealer. At the 12-month follow-up, a periapical radiograph showed bone repair in the periradicular region. Four root canals in the mesial root of the mandibular first molar represent a rare configuration. The clinician must consider possible anatomical variations of the root canal system and carefully analyze the imaging exams along with clinical observation during treatment so that all canals are located and treated to achieve success.

“…Magnification may enhance the detection of root canal orifices. Three reports used loupes, 7,12,18 and three used operating microscopes. 6,8,9 The present case used an operating microscope, which helps locate and negotiate canals with great precision 1,20 and has shown to be significantly better than the naked eye or surgical loupes.…”

The success of root canal therapy depends on cleaning of all the infected root canals and three- dimensional hermetic seal of the canals. For this, the knowledge of the root canal anatomy plays a vital role. However, the root canal anatomy is not always predictable. It is complex due to various anatomic variations and recognizing it and cleaning it thoroughly is a challenge to clinicians. This case report presents root canal treatment of unusual anatomy of maxillary first molar with six root canals, two mesio-buccal, two disto- buccal and two palatal canals.
