Endodontic management of mandibular second premolar with three canals

Abstract

Mandibular premolar can present a complex pulp anatomy. Apart from the usual single root and single canal a many other variations may be seen. Hence not only a thorough knowledge of the root canal anatomy but also it's variations are indispensable pre requisites for the success of any endodontic treatment. Good magnification and CBCT scans will definitely be beneficial for successful endodontic treatment. The present case provides evidence that mandibular premolars may have more than one canal.
