Abstract
The teeth are subjected to considerable variation for the number, size, form and structure of dental tissues. In this rare case report, a 30-year-old male patient was referred for root canal treatment of his right maxillary first molar because of deep caries in this tooth. During radiographic examination for determining the working length of this tooth, the peri-apical radiographs revealed the unfamiliar size of the maxillary first molar, in addition to severe curvature in mesiobuccal root. To achieve a successful treatment instrumentation of the canals completed with a crown-down technique, and obturation was done with lateral condensation technique.

Summary
Knowledge of the dental anatomy and morphology is a foremost point for planning and performing endodontic therapy. Among all teeth undergoing root canal treatment; maxillary first molars owing to their complex root and canal morphology are often known to present with a high incidence of failures, mostly relating to non identification of the (mb2)second mesiobuccal canal(Sharma S et al 2015). (Naseri M et al 2015) It reported that the mean tooth length of maxillary first molar was 19.3 and 20.3mm in Iranian female and male patients, respectively. This paper reports the case of a maxillary right first molar with large size and severe curved canal, root canal treatment and case management are described
