Özet
Background: In endodontic treatment, the aim is to completely determine, shape,
and fill all root canals in a three‑dimensional way. Missed canals lead to treatment
failure. In mandibular molars, there may be an extra canal called the middle
mesial canal between the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals. Aim: The aim
of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of missed middle mesial canals in
root canal-treated mandibular molar teeth. Materials and Methods: In this study,
cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 1054 patients were analyzed.
We identified 121 endodontically treated mandibular molars and evaluated the
prevalence of missed canals. Results: Although 33.05% of the root canal-treated
teeth did not have a middle mesial canal, this canal was detected in the other
66.94%; 97.53% of teeth with a middle mesial canal could not be detected by
clinicians. Conclusion: Clinicians performing endodontic treatment of mandibular
molar teeth should not ignore the presence of the middle mesial canal. Thus, it is
very important for clinicians to have sufficient information about the localization,
morphology, and variations of the middle mesial canal.
