Background : The main objective of the root canal treatment is to clean the entire pulp
ind to obture it with a solid filling material. For a complete healing of periradicular
tissues, all of the root canals must be located and treated. Missing root canals like second
mesiobuccal canal and infected spaces like under obturation is one of the reasons of
endodontic failure. To eliminate such problems, clinicians need to know thoroughly
the morphology of the external and internal anatomy of teeth and atypical root canal
configuration and its variation, Maxillary first molar usually exhibits a second mesiobuccal
canal. This canal provides a great challenge for clinicians to recognized. Failure to locate
this extra canal may result in endodontic failure, Objective : The aim of this case report
is to demonstrate a succeed retreatment of maxillary first molar in which an extra canal
in mesiobuceal root was located using visual, tactile and magnifying devices. Case
Management : A 23-years-old female patient came with a chief complaint on the maxillary
first molar. Patient felt uncomfortable in chewing. The tooth was tender to percussion but
the palpation and mobility was normal. radiographic examination showed that the tooth
has been treated endodontically but the obturation showed uncompleted and there was a
miscanal in mesiobuccal. Conclusion : A complete cleaning and obturation the entire pulp
on maxillary first molar showed a successful treatment outcome.
Keywords : root canal retreatment, second mesiobuccal canal, endodontics failure.

Endodontic failures must be
evaluated so a decision can be made
among nonsurgical retreatment, surgical
retreatment, or extraction, The goals of
nonsurgical retreatment are to remove
materials from the root canal space and

DISCUSSION
The main objective of endodontic
treatment is thorough mechanical and
chemical debridement of necrotic tissue
and its complete obturation with an
inert filling material. The major cause of
endodontic failure when treating the first
maxillary molar is failure to debride the
entire root canal system, which usually
occurs because the clini
jan was unable to
detect additional root canals.*
The permanent first maxillary molar
and permanent second maxillary molar
are the teeth that present the greatest
complexity and variation in the root canal
system and this is reflected in them having
the highest rates of endodontic failure
and being a constant challenge for the
clinician."Extra roots or root canals if not
detected are a major reason for failure.”
The maxillary first molar has some
of the highest failure rates in endodontic
treatment.A high percentage of treatment
failures is due to the impossibility of
detecting the presence and location of
the secondary mesiobuccal canal (MB2),
located in the mesiobuccal root of the
