Abstract

Mandibular premolars are one of the most difficult teeth to treat endodontically as it shows high incidences of aberrant root canal anatomy. Complete cleaning and shaping with copous irrigation is the key to successful endodontic treatment. Careful understanding of the internal anatomy and morphology of the root canal system is an important task when performing cleaning and shaping procedures. This article describes mandibular second premolars with Vertucci Type II root canal anatomy, treated successfully by conventional endodontic treatment.
