Abstract:
Successful endodontic treatment requires knowledge of the root canal anatomy, cleaning, and shaping followed by three-dimensional filling of the root canals. With the advent of newer diagnostic aids such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnifying tools such as dental operating microscope and loupes, it has become easier for an operator to identify the root canal anatomy of teeth and reduce the risk of procedural accidents and failures. Variations in root canal configuration require modification in access cavity preparation, disinfection, and obturation of the canals. Mandibular premolars are identified to have unusual root and canal anatomy which increases the risk of endodontic failure when additional canals remain undiagnosed. The present case report elaborates successful endodontic management of a mandibular second premolar with Type IX root canal configuration using CBCT as a diagnostic tool.
