Abstract

The root and canal anatomy of the mandibular first molar is highly complicated. A mandibular first molar with a C-shaped root canal system is rare. This article describes two different cases of this system. Case 1 has a complete C-shaped fused root. The root canal is characterized by a mesial lingual root canal and a C-shaped fused root canal. Case 2 has a C-shaped fused root in the buccal region and a distal lingual root. The root canal is characterized by a type Ⅱ-Ⅰroot canal in the buccal region and a distal lingual root canal.
