Endodontic management of middle mesial canal in a permanent mandibular second molar- a case report

A detailed knowledge and understanding of root canal anatomy is required for a successful endodontic treatment. Mandibular second molars frequently show variation in its morphology such as intercanals and anastomosis. Inability to identify an extra canal may lead to failure of endodontic therapy. Hence, constant efforts should be made to negotiate these aberrant canal configurations. The present case report was aimed at identification and management of middle mesial canal in a permanent mandibular second molar.
