Endodontic Management Of Mandibular First Molar With An Unusually 28 Mm Root – A Case Report

Abstract

One of the most important aspects of endodontic therapy is determining the correct working length. Cleaning, shaping, and obturation cannot be done correctly unless the working length is properly established. As a result, an accurate root canal working length assessment is required for expected endodontic success. Endodontic literature heavily focuses on a plethora of root canal morphologies. However, none has come across a mandibular molar with a 28mm canal length or ever has been reported. To our knowledge, we present the successful endodontic management of the mandibular first molar with an unusually long root length and canal.
