In the oral cavity, mandibular molars are the first permanent teeth to erupt and are the most common teeth that require endodontic treatment because of early caries.5 Variability in the root canal morphology exists among different races.6 Root canal morphology of mandibular first molar has been extensively studied among various population groups and their results demonstrate that it exhibits diverse morphologic variations.8-13 Gu et al.8 studied root canal anatomy in Chinese population and reported that the most common root canal configuration in the root was Type IV (64.4%) followed by Type II (11.1%).
