Elimination of microbes from root canals and impeding of further reinfection is the objective behind an endodontic treatment. This is achieved by overall disinfection and shaping of canals which can then be filled using a three-dimensional filling with a fluid-tight seal. However, this process becomes complicated with the presence of additional root canal systems. To achieve these goals, the clinician must have proper knowledge of regular anatomy and anatomic variants of root canals. One such variant configuration in mandibular molars is the presence of a third canal in the mesial root called middle-mesial canal. The purpose of the present article is to report successful non-surgical retreatment of a mandibular first molar with earlier missed Middle Mesial Canal.
