  • Title: Mandibular molar with five root canals.
    Author: Barletta FB, Dotto SR, Reis Mde S, Ferreira R, Travassos RM.
    Journal: Aust Endod J; 2008 Dec; 34(3):129-32. PubMed ID: 19032649.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the importance of knowledge of the internal anatomy of root canals for the success of endodontic treatment. Lack of knowledge of anatomic variations and their characteristics in different teeth has been pointed out as one of the main causes of endodontic therapy failure. In this report, the authors describe the endodontic treatment of a mandibular first molar with five root canals, evaluate the rate of occurrence of this number of canals, and discuss the importance of their identification and treatment.
