Abstract

Introduction- The root canal morphology of teeth is often extremely complex and highly variable. One such morphological oddity is the presence of two roots, with a reported incidence of 1.8%.

Case- A 16-year-old female patient complains of pain in the posterior left mandibular tooth for the past 2 weeks. After clinical, radiographic examination, and vitality testing, we diagnosed the patient with Acute apical periodontitis of tooth #34. It was decided to treat the left mandibular first premolar with two roots endodontically. The patient was reviewed after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months , 1 year and radiographs showed satisfactory healing.

 Conclusion- This case report details the endodontic management of a sparse case of mandibular first premolar with two roots and two canals, which ended with a favorable outcome due to the satisfactory execution of the preferred constituents.
