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.
