MIDDLE MESIAL CANAL OF THE FIRST MANDIBULAR MOLAR
Keywords:
endodontics, molar, mesial moviment of teeth, mandibular first molar, variable anatomyAbstract
As a result of the advent of the visual magnification and increased luminosity provided by the Operative Microscope, c//nicians are increasingly reporting the incidence of previous!y unnoticed root canais that frequently /ed to a !ack of success in endodontic therapy. One of the most evident cases is that of the mandibular molars, particularly the mesial root, where, between the we/1-known mesiobucca/ and mesio!ingua! canais, a canal called the midd/e mesial canal has been observed. This study reports a clinica! case showing the presence of the middle mesial canal anda !iterature review concerning the incidence of this canal.
