When a fourth root canal exists in a maxillary first molar, it is most likely located in which root?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Mesiofacial
The mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molars frequently harbors two canals (MB1 and MB2), giving the tooth 4 canals total. The MB2 canal is notoriously difficult to locate, which is why maxillary first molar RCTs are commonly referred to endodontists.
