Abstract:
The possibility of extra canals in mandibular premolars is quite low; however, it must be taken into account in clinical and radiographic evaluations during root canal treatment. This case series describes the presence of one root and three canals in mandibular premolars in three patients. The case series underlines the importance of complete knowledge about root canal morphology and possible variations to increase the ability of clinicians to treat difficult cases.
