A comprehensive understanding of root canal morphology, alongside an informed anticipation of potential anatomical variations, is essential for minimizing iatrogenic errors and achieving successful treatment outcomes. The morphology of the permanent maxillary first molar has been extensively investigated, with significant emphasis on variations such as the presence of additional roots and root canals. However, reports documenting the occurrence of two canals in two-rooted maxillary first molars are scarce in the literature on tooth and root canal anatomy. This case report presents the successful endodontic management of a two-rooted maxillary first molar with two canals.
