How many canals does a typical molar have ?

Question:

Answers:
Typically speaking, the maxillary (or upper) molars have 3 roots (with canals) and the mandibular (or lower) molars have 2 roots (with canals). As for the wisdom teeth (3rd molars), whether they are upper or lower molars, it is impossible to say what is 'typical' since there are so many variations. However, roots of 3rd molars are often fused together.

Other Answers:
three I'm almost positive.

Four, which defines a molar. So if you have a root canal of a molar, make sure to reserve enough time for that procedure.

some have three and some have four. my dentist told me when i looked at my xray and asked him why do all my roots look different on my molars.

usually 3. Sometimes there are more.

3 but for some unusual ones might have 4 roots.
