Abstract:
Molars have been observed to have a variety of morphological forms. The least understood and most treatable tooth in the posterior region is the upper first molar. The maxillary first molar has a complex anatomy with a wide variation in the number, size, and shape of the root canals. The case documentation highlights the endodontic treatment of the upper first molar with an anomalous position of the mesiobuccal 2 (MB2) canal. Endodontic therapy success is contingent upon the awareness of the dentist about the differences i.e. morphology and outline of the root and its canal.
