Aberrations in root canal anatomy are common, but three roots and canals in maxillary second premolars are exceptionally rare. This study presents three unique cases, highlighting the importance of understanding dental anatomy variations for successful endodontic treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Dental Anatomy

Background:

  • Root canal system aberrations are frequent.
  • Understanding root canal anatomy and its variations is crucial for successful endodontic therapy.
  • Maxillary second premolars typically exhibit a single root and single canal anatomy.

Observation:

  • Three rare cases of maxillary second premolars with three distinct roots and canals were identified.
  • Detailed examination of these anatomical variations was performed.

Findings:

  • The study documents the occurrence of three-rooted, three-canaled maxillary second premolars.
  • This anatomical configuration is exceedingly uncommon in endodontic literature.

Implications:

  • These findings underscore the need for thorough diagnostic imaging in endodontics.
  • Clinicians must be prepared for unusual root canal morphology to ensure effective treatment outcomes.
  • Awareness of rare anatomical variations improves endodontic success rates.
