Abstract

The complexity of the root canal system morphology presents a continuous challenge to endodontic diagnosis and therapeutics. Root canal morphology is limitless in its variability and clinicians must be aware that anatomic variations constitute a big challenge to the endodontic success rate. A proper diagnosis using radiographs play an important role in the successful treatment of such variations. This case report presents relatively rare cases of mandibular first and second molars with single roots and a single root canals.
