abstract: The tenets of root-canal treatment are the preparation, cleaning, and sealing of the root canals. An understanding of the variations in root-canal anatomy is necessary by those carrying out treatment. Recognition of a variation when it occurs is the first and most frequent step in completing successful treatment for these teeth.
