ABSTRACT

Mandibular premolars often present themselves with mystifying morphologies and have rightly earned the title of “Endodontist’s Enigma”. While managing such cases, a triad of three-dimensional viewing, three-dimensional cleaning and three-dimensional filling may serve as a road map for not only proper diagnosis but obtaining a predictable and successful root canal treatment outcome. CBCT as a three-dimensional tool may not only be helpful in visualizing the anatomy but also in predicting the location of multiple canals and depth of pulpal floor and bifurcation. This case report attempts to describe CBCT assisted non-surgical management of mandibular second premolar.

Keywords: CBCT, aberrant canal morphology and mandibular premolar.
