Here is an odd-looking one. right mandibular first molar
referral thought it was resorption of the distal root.
I don't think it was. same tooth on left side had similiar anatomy.

The re-curvature on the mesials made up for the short easy preps on the distal - Siju Jacob



Great Job as always Siju.

If it is not resorption why do you think this is the anatomy?  How was the apical anatomy of the distal?  What was the
final apical size of the distal? - Carlos Murgel

Thanks Carlos.

I think this is the natural anatomy of the tooth in this patient.
Both left and right side molars had the same anatomy.
The apex on the distal had a natural constriction unlike resorption cases where it is blown out.
I enlarged the apex of the distal to a protaper f3 (# 30 at the tip) - Siju

Beautiful case - Fred
