Abstract
Evaluating morphology of a root canal is important in determination of a successful endodontic therapy. This article highlights the need to be aware of different morphologies, which can exist in the root canal system of upper molars. This is usually associated with buccal root and has been documented in several studies in literature. On the other hand, it is not often that we come across variations in the palatal roots. These cases discuss such a case where two canals were discovered in palatal root during root canal treatment of maxillary first molar. It is essential to evaluate pre-operative radiographs and have proper knowledge of anatomy of the root canal system before initiating the treatment. All roots must be explored carefully to ensure that all canals are negotiated, debrided and obturated to ensure successful endodontic outcome. This case report shows a case series in endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with two palatal canals.
