Endodontic management of Mandibular second premolar with aberrant root and canal morphology: a case report

Abstract

A proper understanding about variations in root canal anatomy and confounding nature of human pulpal system plays a significant role in success of endodontic treatment. Presence of variations should always be considered even in teeth like mandibular second premolars which show very less frequency of unusual root canal anatomy. The case report presents diagnosis and successful endodontic management of mandibular left second premolar with a very rare and peculiar type of root and canal anatomy (Vertucci type V root canal configuration). Keywords: Aberrant root, Mandibular second premolar, Root canal, Variable canal anatomy.
