C-Shaped configuration of the root canal system of mandibular second molar: A case report

Journal Title: International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The successful endodontic management needs proper knowledge about aberrant root canal systems. Appropriate mode can be selected depending upon this morphology. The C shaped canal is a special feature of some lower second molars. Some or all of the canal orifices are joined in the form of a groove or isthmus with a shape of the letter C. Biomechanical preparation and obturation of C‑shaped canals needs variation from the usual endodontic techniques.
