Many anatomical variations can occur within the mandibular first molar. Commonly, 3-4 canals are located, but as many as 6-7 canals have been reported.This report describes a case of a mandibular first molar with 6 separate canals (3 mesial and 3 distal) that was instrumented with conventional hand and rotary files and obturated by using a hybrid warm vertical compaction technique.Recall examination as far as 3 years post-treatment found no sensitivity to percussion or palpation and recall radiographs after treatment show resolution of the previous apical periodontitis.The existence of such teeth as these underlies the importance of looking for additional canals.
