Endodontic Treatment of Mandibular Second Premolar with aberrant canal morphology: Achtung!

Abstract

Endodontic treatment poses day to day challenges to the clinician due to the incidence of aberrant root canal morphology. Mandibular second premolars are considered one of the most difficult teeth to treat for the same reason which is often associated with high chances of missed and untreated canals. Thus a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the root canal system especially of mandibular second premolars, is extremely important when performing cleaning and shaping procedures. This article focuses on the variations in root canal anatomy of mandibular second premolars treated successfully by conventional endodontic technique.
