Five canals on mandibular first molar successfully managed by undergraduate dental student: An Educational Case Report.
Abstract
Undergraduate dental student’s eligibility and ability to treat difficult endodontic cases is a new area open for debate. A fifth year undergraduate dental student managed to perform a successful root canal treatment (RCT) on a 42 year old male patient diagnosed as a rare case of mandibular first molar with five root canals. As an educational case report, in a country like Sudan, close supervision and clinical training of undergraduate students in treating difficult endodontic cases is recommended.
