Abstract
The main objectives of root canal treatment are thorough shaping and cleaning of all pulp spaces and its complete obturation with an inert filling material. The presence of untreated canal may be a reason for failure of endodontic therapy. To achieve satisfactory root canal therapy, a proper and in-depth knowledge of complex and abnormal root canal morphology is essential.
Highlights
There are situations which are encountered during endodontic treatment when we stumble upon a unique case with an extra root, extra palatal canal, extra distobuccal root, or canal located at other than normal location
Premolars present a lower incidence and the mandibular premolars are commonly affected. This case report presents a bilateral case of radix entomolaris and unusual root canal anatomy of bilateral second mandibular premolars with Taurodontism
High level of success in endodontic treatment requires an understanding of root canal anatomy and morphology [3]
Summary
There are situations which are encountered during endodontic treatment when we stumble upon a unique case with an extra root, extra palatal canal, extra distobuccal root, or canal located at other than normal location. Sometimes endodontic failure occurs due to incomplete canal obturation and the presence of untreated canals. The sound knowledge of the root canal and pulp chamber anatomy is a pre-requisite for successful root canal treatment [1]. Many of the challenges faced during root canal treatment may be directly attributed to an inadequate understanding of the tooth morphology. Anatomic variation in the number of roots and root canal can occur in any tooth. Premolars present a lower incidence and the mandibular premolars are commonly affected.
