Abstract

A variation in the root canal anatomy of mandibular second molars has been well documented in literature. Tooth with 2 mesial canals and 1 distal canal is most frequently encountered followed by varying entities like 2 canals, 4 canals, and c-shaped canal system. This case report describes the diagnosis and management of unusual morphological entity of mandibular second molar, with single root and single root canal using advanced endodontic procedures. Appropriate knowledge of various root canal morphological entities and usage of advanced equipment available leads to satisfactory results.
