Rare Occurrence of Single Rooted Mandibular Left First and Third Permanent Mandibular Molar: A Case Report
Abstract
For any practicing clinician, successful endodontic therapy is highly dependent upon complete knowledge of the anatomy and the variations present in the human dentition. There are variances in anatomical configurations in teeth seen across the globe and might needs specialized treatment techniques. The tendency of Asians to show a C- shaped canal morphology has been documented in the literature, however, in contrast to those findings, we report a unique and a rare case of left mandibular first and third molars
