Wisdom teeth, which are the last molars to emerge, can also undergo a root canal therapy (RCT). An infection can be avoided and a tooth can be saved using RCT, a routine surgery. This case report shows how to manage upper last molar root canal therapy endodontically and comprehend their clinical morphology.
Keywords: Wisdom tooth, Endodontic file, Root canal, Canal configuration.
