Upper first molar with 5 canals, MB3

This is why the use of the microscope is so IMPORTANT in Endodontics. This is an upper first molar with 5 canals. I like to clean and shape first the main canals to work after on the accessories. In this case I found a MB2 and MB3 canal. It’s IMPOSSIBLE to do this with the limitations of our naked eye, even with loupes. Mind as well the “conservative” access done in this case.

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

First upper molar RE TREATMENT, 5 canals, DB2

This case was referred to me for a re-treatment of the upper first molar with apical periodontitis. I found 5 canals. Notice the unusual location of the MB2 at the entry of the palatal canal and a DB2 next to DB canal

It always seems impossible until it’s done.
