followed by its complete obturation. However, owing to anatomic perplexities. this therapy at times may be more complicated than expected. The morphological variations of the Mandibular first molar demand careful clinical approach to avoid failures. The introduction of magnification and ultrasonics in endodontics has revolutionized the world and we are now able to manage the anatomical complexities much more predictably.
