Case Reports

Unusual Two Palatal Canal in Maxillary First Molar Diagnosis and Management- A Case Report
Harakh Chand Baranwal, Amrita Kumari, Nidhi Singh, Neeraj Kumar

The internal canal morphology of maxillary molar is highly variable. Presence of missed canal and/or failure to identify additional root are one of the main causes for failure in endodontic therapy. For the successful endodontic therapy, thorough knowledge of root canal morphology is essential. There are variations in root canal configuration in maxillary molars, which could affect treatment outcome. This paper presents the endodontic management of a cariously exposed maxillary left first molar with two palatal canals (Vertucci type IV) and a single buccal canal. Aim of this case report is to reinforce clinician’s awareness of the rare morphology of root canals.
Key words: Maxillary first molar, palatal canal, extra canal.
