Abstrakt:	Endodontic therapy focuses on the root canal system to treat infected or damaged pulp tissue within the tooth, ultimately preserving the tooth and restoring its function. The root canal space should be cleaned with the use of proper instruments and chemical disinfectants to eradicate infected pulpal tissue and its remnants. The failure of endodontic therapy is attributed to a lack of understanding of the differences in anatomy among teeth, as evidenced by research. Canals are identified, and endodontic treatment is facilitated by the use of dental operating microscopes. Therefore, to achieve a favorable endodontic result, it is imperative to use all available methods to identify additional aberrant root canals. Failure to detect and adequately treat the midmesial canal (MMC) can lead to persistent infection, treatment failure, and the need for retreatment. This case underscores the importance of meticulous assessment and advanced techniques in treating complex canal configurations, ultimately leading to favorable outcomes in endodontic therapy. The MMC, a challenging anatomical feature, was located through careful clinical and radiographic examination. Advanced techniques, including ultrasonic activation and meticulous instrumentation, were employed to navigate and clean the canal effectively. Sodium hypochlorite irrigation and passive ultrasonic activation were utilized for thorough disinfection. The MMC was sealed with biocompatible materials, ensuring comprehensive obturation of the root canal system.
