Mandibular Second Molar with Single Root and Single Canal -A Case Report

Abstract

The variability of the root canal system morphology of multi-rooted teeth represents never-ending challenge to the endodontic diagnosis and therapeutics. Variations of the root canal systems needn't always within the style of extra canals. Clinicians should remember that there's a prospect of existence of fewer number of roots and passages than the traditional root canal anatomy. This case report presents a rare root canal system in a mandibular second molar tooth with a single root with a single canal. The access cavities displayed only one round /oval canal orifice which is a rare occurrence. A clinician thus requires to have adequate knowledge about root morphology, canal orientation and its variation.
