Abstract

A distinctive fin or web connects different canals to form the C-shaped root canal system, which is an aberration of the root canal system. The mandibular second premolars have frequently been observed in this form. By highlighting the necessity and additional benefit of using the CBCT in conjunction with Radio Visio Graphy (RVG) in the management of the C-shaped root canal configuration of the mandibular second premolar, the objective of this case record is to assist the clinician in establishing the proper and accurate diagnosis.

Keywords: Mandibular Second Premolar; C‑Shaped Root Canal Configuration; Tooth Anatomy; Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
