We report the extraction of a mandibular third molar with six roots.
The patient was a woman in her twenties. She was referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of gingival swelling of the right mandibular third molar region. Impacted teeth with many roots were found by dental X-ray imaging.
We diagnosed pericoronitis and extraction was performed under local anesthesia. Extraction was easy, and no fracture was observed in any of the roots. There were no postoperative complications. As seen by CT, the extracted teeth revealed 7 cusps and 6 roots with 5 root canals.
