Endodontic Management of Mandibular First Premolar with Aberrant Root Morphology – The Enigma of Endodontists

Abstract

Mandibular premolars have gained the reputation for having aberrant root and root canal anatomy. If one has to treat such teeth predictably, it is necessary to be aware of their clinical and radiographic morphology. The present case reports the presence and endodontic management of two separate roots with Vertucci’s Type I configuration in mandibular first premolar.

Key words: Aberrant morphology, mandibular premolars, two roots.
