Abstract

The mandibular premolars are more prone to aberrations of canals. They include bifurcation and trifurcation
of canals which makes it difficult to diagnose and manage. The failure to treat them leads to re-infection
and persistence of infection in the tooth. Hence, it is of utmost importance for the clinician to know the
morphologic variations. The present case report is aimed to give a clinical insight of such aberrations.
The first case presents with mandibular first premolar with 2 roots and 2 root canals and second case is a
mandibular second premolar with 1 root and 3 canals which was diagnosed with CBCT. Both the cases were
treated endodontically and successfully managed.
