Abstract
Prior to initiation of endodontic treatment possibility of extra roots and
canals should be considered. The incidence of three canals in mandibular second
premolar has been found to be between 0.46-0.5%. The present series describes
nonsurgical endodontic treatment of a mandibular second premolar having three canals
and three roots and a mandibular first premolar having two roots and three canals. In the
first case, three orifices were located and in the second case a single orifice which
bifurcated into two canals in the coronal portion and then one canal further divided into
two and three canals exited from the apex was seen. With good operator skill and
knowledge of root canal anatomies, teeth with extremely complex root canal
morphologies can have successful treatment outcome even if treated non-surgically.
