Maxillary first molar, specimen MX6.05. The root fades to show an H-shaped MB canal system: two canals, an isthmus between them, a re-split at the apex.

Read the canal,not the outline.

Every model is a scanned specimen, not an illustration.

Start with the real surface.

Micro-CT keeps every ridge and groove of the root. This is the tooth as it came out.

Fade the root.

Turn the surface translucent and the pulp shows through: the chamber, then each canal down to the apex.

Find the configuration.

MX6.05 has an H-shaped MB system. Two canals, joined by an isthmus, splitting again at the apex. You would not see it on a radiograph.

MB2 loves to hide.

It sits under the dentin shelf, in a root you can’t see into. Study it on real specimens before you go looking for it with a file.
