Abstract
Maxillary first molar, the "6-year molar", is the tooth largest in volume and most complex in root and root canal anatomy. Therefore, maxillary first molar is possibly the most treated, least understood. It is the posterior tooth with the highest endodontic failure rate and unquestionably one of the most important teeth. The earliest permanent posterior tooth to erupt, the mandibular first molar seems to be the most frequently in need of endodontic treatment.(omitted)
