The root canal treatment of a mandibular molar with aberrant canal configuration can be diagnostically and technically challenging.
This case report presents the clinical management of a mandibular first molar with three separate mesial canals including middle mesial canal, which was confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Posttreatment images revealed three independent root canals in the mesial root obturated efficiently to the accepted lengths in all three canals.
This case report highlights the usefulness of CBCT imaging for accurate diagnosis and management of the unusual canal morphology.
下颌磨牙根管形态异常的根管治疗在诊断和技术上具有挑战性。
本病例报告介绍了下颌第一磨牙三根管（包括中近中根管）的临床处理方法，这些根管通过锥形束 CT（CBCT）图像得到证实。
治疗后图像显示近中根的三个独立根管均被有效地充填到所有三个根管的可接受长度。
本病例报告强调了 CBCT 成像在准确诊断和处理异常根管形态方面的有用性。
