ABSTRACT
A mandibular first molar tooth requiring root canal treatment was found to have one mesial and one distal root and
a total of five canals. The mesial root had two separate canals; the distal root had three canals. This case demonstrates
a rare anatomical configuration and supplements previous reports of the existence of such configurations in
mandibular first molars.
