Abstract

The clinician must have to be familiar with the morphology of the roots of all teeth, and the associated intricate root canal anatomy, to achieve proper access to the canals, effective debridement and obturation for successful endodontic treatment. This case report intensifies the complexity of maxillary molar morphologic variation and represents successful endodontic treatment of maxillary first molar with 3 roots and 6 canals having 2 separate palatal canals which is rarely discussed in literature.
