The present case report highlights the need to identify variations in root canal anatomy as a prerequisite for effective nonsurgical root canal therapy planning. As clinicians, we need to develop our observational and clinical abilities as well as amend our understanding of the complexities of the canal anatomy. Reports describing the structure of teeth and pulp canals rarely report the presence of two pulp canals in two permanent upper 1st molars. In this case, it describes the nonsurgical root canal therapy of the upper right 1st permanent molar with two pulp canals, which was confirmed by a cone beam.
