So true. My boss says upper 1st molars ALWAYS have 4 canals. We do a lot of retreatments on teeth that only had 3 canals done. I think I misspoke yesterday, we usually say 3 or 4 canals to patients on the phone before they have a consult on a molar because it's not always the tooth they think it is. So generalizing you know.
