“…The existing literature reports mainly document either Vertucci Type IV or Type V root canal configuration where two separate orifices exist in the maxillary palatal root. 10 As per the literature, this case also showed the presence of an MB2 canal, the incidence of which ranges from 56.8% to as high as 90%. The tooth had a Vertucci Type II morphology in its mesial root, the most common configuration in that particular root of the maxillary first molars.…”

“…Anatomical anomalies are commonly detected in the maxillary first molar ranging from one to seven canals. 10 In literature, several cases have been reported with varying root canal configurations from one to eight roots as well. 11 Hence, the detection of additional canals, using various diagnostic aids which must be considered when planning for endodontic treatment.…”

The clinical management of a maxillary first molar with six root canals is described in this case report having two canals in the mesiobuccal root (MB), two canals in the distobuccal root (DB), and two canals in the palatal root (P). The prevalence of such a complex internal anatomy of teeth is a rare variation. The endodontic management of such deviant canal morphology can be challenging to diagnose and treat. For proper management of such unusual cases, it is essential to have sound knowledge of the intricacies of the anatomy and additional canals. Hence, it is imperative to record such cases in dental literature.

“…Moreover, the incidence of second distobuccal canal (DB2) was 1.6% to 9.5% [15,16] . Finally, although rare but a third canal in the mesiobuccal (MB3), distobuccal (DB3) and palatal roots has been reported [17,18] . In addition, the frequency of two root canals in the palatal root has also been found which was ranged between 0.2% to 7.0% [13,15] .…”

Endodontic Retreatment of Maxillary First Molar with Three Roots and Seven Canals: A Case Report

A 25-year-old female existing with mild pain and discomfort during mastication in her right posterior maxillary tooth. On clinical examination, the maxillary first molar tooth was restored with a composite filling. The tooth did not respond to heat or cold test, and it was tender to percussion. Radiograph examination revealed poor obturation of the canals and the periodontal ligament space was broad but there was no definitive periapical radiolucency. Conservative non-surgical root canal treatment was performed; a total of seven root canals were detected and they were obturated by using the calcium-based sealer. Radiograph with RVG and CBCT also confirmed that all seven canals were properly obturated. Twelve months later, there were no clinical or radiographic changes of the treated tooth. These findings suggested that careful examination of the floor of the pulp chamber with RVG and CBCT help to find extra root canals.
