Single Canal in a Single-Rooted Mandibular Second Molar: A Paradox
Abstract
During endodontic diagnosis multirooted teeth morphologically, shows variable root canal system . This case report explains the anatomical variations of root and root canals. Here it is shown that a single canal is present in mandibular second molar. Therefore we should be aware that a single canal can also be present in mandibular molar.
