Dr Veerendra M Uppin, Dr Priyanka Sarangi, Dr Sukanta Kumar Satapathy

Abstract :

It is known that the mandibular second molar can display significant anatomical variations. Like the number of root canals, the number of roots may also differ. Mandibular second molars sometimes may have only a single root or may also have two or three roots. If seen, an awareness and understanding of this unusual root and its root canal morphology can contribute to the successful outcome of root canal treatment. This case report presents an aberrant root canal anatomy in mandibular second molar that is a single root having a single canal. The access cavity displayed only one oval canal orifice which is a rarity. The successful management of the case is discussed.Adequate knowledge about root morphology and its variation are of utmost importance to a clinican. Clinicians should be aware of these unusual root morphologies in the mandibular second molars.
