Endodontic management of mandibular premolar with bifurcated root using cone beam computed tomography

Mandibular premolars ordinarily have single root with its one respective root canal system. However multiple studies on the anatomic variations of mandibular premolar have been reported. It’s proved unquestionably that root canal system is highly complex, intricate and variable. For the successful endodontic treatment, the clinician must have the knowledge of the pulp system configuration. The incidence of two roots in these teeth is not so common. This report presents the clinical endodontic management of mandibular second premolar having bifurcated roots at the midroot level and with 2 distinguished root canals.
