Management of Maxillary First Molar with Six Canals―A Case Report

Generally permanent maxillary first molar has three ischolar_mains and four canals. While there is usually a single canal in each of the distobuccal and palatal ischolar_mains, the broad buccolingual dimension of the mesiobuccal ischolar_main and associated concavities on its mesial and distal surface is consistent with the majority of the mesiobuccal ischolar_mains having two canals. In the literature with respect to frequency of occurrence of the number of canals in each ischolar_main, there is a wide range of variation with regards to the number of ischolar_mains and incidence of fusion. The ischolar_main canal morphology of teeth is often extremely complex and highly variable. Variations may result because of ethnic background, age and gender of the population studied. The following manuscript is a case report that describes the management of maxillary first molar with 6 canals.
