Abstract

Mandibular premolars show a wide variety of root canal anatomy. Especially, the occurrence of three canals with three separate foramina in mandibular second premolars is very rare. This case report describes the root canal treatment of an unusual morphological configuration of the root canal system and supplements previous reports of the existence of such configuration in mandibular second premolar.

하악소구치의 근관형태는 매우 다양하다. 특히, 근단공까지 분리주행하는 세 개의 근관을 갖는 하악 제2소구치는 매우 드물다. 본 증례는 하악 제2소구치의 드문 근관형태를 기술하고, 상기 치아들에서 본 증례와 같이 세 개의 근관이 존재한다는 이전의 연구들을 뒷받침하고 있다.
