Apical delta, Lateral canals, Root canal treatment.Abstract
Apex of root is of great interest for endodontists mainly because of different stages involved in its development and the
surrounding tissues. Mandibular molars normally consists of 2 roots, one mesial and one distal. About common occurrence,
2 canals are found in mesial root and 1 canal in the distal root. The patient was diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible
pulpitis. After cleaning and shaping, the next step is obturation. Lateral canals are complex findings in the apical third of
root which is characterized as a lateral canal deviating from the main canal. Normally, this lateral canal is not part of the
standard root canal procedure due to the complexities, but sometimes obturation might be possible, which might affect the
long-term prognosis of the tooth. Advanced skills are required to attempt and complete obturation of the lateral canal which
might be a difficult task for the general practitioners.
