Abstract

The Endodontic treatment of a mandibular molar with third root can be diagnostically and technically challenging. The location of the extra canal and the curvature in its course to the apex can pose difficulty in the management of radices. This case report discusses endodontic treatment of three mandibular first molars with radix. Awareness of unusual root canal morphology and the modifications in the management protocol can contribute to the successful outcome of endodontic treatment.
