The success of endodontic therapy depends on three dimensional cleaning, shaping and obturation of
the entire root canal system. But this is often challenged by variation in internal anatomy of teeth. One
of the rare variations is the presence of two palatal roots of maxillary molars. The following case report
describes the management of maxillary first and second molar with two separate palatal roots. Although
rare, anatomical aberration can occur in every tooth so awareness of their presence would help in
successful endodontic therapy.
