Case report A right mandibular first molar requiring root canal treatment was found to have one mesial and two distal roots and a total of five canals. The mesial and distobuccal root had two separate canals; the distolingual root had one. This case demonstrates a rare anatomical configuration and supplements previous reports of the existence of such configurations in mandibular first molars.
