Endodontic Retreatment of Mandibular First Premolar – An Enigma to Endodontist.

Abstract

Mandibular premolars exhibit an unusual anatomical variation at a high rate leading to difficulties in treating these teeth. Anatomic and internal morphology of a root canal system of mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having aberrant anatomy. The occurrence of two root canals with two separate foramina in mandibular second premolars is rare. A wider knowledge on both clinical and radiographic anatomy especially cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) is absolutely essential for the success of endodontic treatment. These teeth may require skillful and special root canal shaping and obturating techniques. This case report presents an unusual case of a mandibular first premolar with atypical canal pattern that was successfully retreated endodontically.
