mandibular; second molars; three roots; root canal treatment
Most mandibular second molars have one or two roots, but there can be variations in root number and morphology. A rare case of an 18-year-old male with a mandibular second molar having three roots - two mesial and one distal - was presented. Radiographs revealed three different canals in separate roots, each with independent exits. Recognizing these variations is crucial for successful endodontic treatment.
Most mandibular second molars are usually found to have either one or two roots. However, mandibular second molars can also present with variations in the number of roots as well as differences in the morphology of their root canals. An 18-year-old male presented to the Department of Graduate Endodontics clinic with a morphologically variable mandibular second molar with three roots-two mesial and one distal. Two periapical radiographs were taken at different angles, revealing that there were three different canals in separate roots, each with independent portals of exit. This is a rare anatomical configuration. The success of endodontic treatment depends on accurate diagnosis, careful examination, identification of additional roots and canals, as well as detection of variations in root canal morphology. Failing to recognize these variations may lead to failures of root canal treatments and thus unsuccessful endodontic treatment.
