Root canal anatomy can show great variation
in molar teeth. The lower mandibular six also
shows complex morphology (typically it has 2
canals in mesial root and 1 canal in distal). This
case report attempts to document the non-surgical
endodontic treatment of a molar tooth with three
canals in the mesial root and three in the distal root.
Having more than 3 canals is unusual. Prognosis of
endodontic treatment is poor if the clinician fails to
locate all the present canals in a tooth. Non-surgical
endodontic treatment was done and later restored
by core build up followed by crown placement.
It is to be greatly emphasized that the prognosis
of a root canal treatment in a case with anatomic
variation can be adverse if the clinician is unable to
detect the presence of extra root canals.
