Abstract

An insight into the complexity of internal dental morphology is an important point for the planning and performing of root canal treatment. The undetected anatomical variations existing in the root canal system may contribute to the failure of root canal therapy. An additional root canal on the mesiobuccal root is one of the morphological variations of the maxillary first molar. A 25-year-old male patient was reported to the Dental Hospital of Universitas Gadjah Mada with complaints of a big cavity in upper left first molar teeth. The tooth was not endodontically treated and there was no pain detected during the examination. Clinical examination revealed a pulp depth of distopalatoocclusal carious lesion with intrinsic discolouration. The second mesiobuccal root canal was detected during exploration. Preoperative radiographs showed pulp exposure and periradicular radiolucency. Diagnosis of tooth 26 was profound caries with necrotic pulp, asymptomatic apical periodontitis and intrinsic discolouration. Root canal treatment was carried out followed by prefabricated fibre post and porcelain fused to metal crown. Exploring the possibility of root canal variation would enhance the success of root canal treatment. The accurate instrumentation would help in the recognition and treatment of the second mesiobuccal canal.
