Abstract
Aberrant anatomy of mandibular premolars is very rare in Korean, but aberration can contribute the endodontic failure as it makes difficult to remove the irritants during cleaning and shaping procedure. This case report describes the successful root canal treatment of a rare mandibular first premolar with C-shaped root canal as using a cone-beam computed tomography to understand the internal shape of root canal system and a dental operating microscope to improve the magnification and illumination.
