Zusammenfassung: | Understanding the root and canal anatomy is pivotal before initiating endodontic surgical procedures. Any missed canal will cause treatment failure and ultimately lead to tooth extraction in this era of tooth conservation. Mandibular second premolars have attracted researchers and clinicians for having aberrant anatomy. Variations in the number of roots or canals may not be discerned on 2D radiographs and may become apparent during treatment procedures. The occurrence of two roots in the lower second premolar has been reported in the current case. Here, in this case, the authors have described the clinical course of the patient along with the management of these two rooted mandibular second premolars. |
