Abstract

It is important to sterilize and obturate the entire expanse of the root canal system effectively to prevent endodontic failure. This article presents a case involving endodontic re-treatment of a maxillary second molar with an unusual morphology consisting of 6 root canals. Five were identified during clinical exploration, and the sixth was identified using cone beam computed tomography.

Keywords: 6 root canals; CBCT; maxillary second molar; re-treatment.
