Abstract
An awareness and thorough knowledge of internal and external root canal morphology contribute to the successful root canal treatment. A mandibular second molar Radix Entomolaris (Additional lingual root) and Radix Paramolaris (Additional Buccal root) with two distal roots is an interesting example of anatomic variation. This paper describes a case report of mandibular second molar with three roots (one mesial and two distal) and four canals (two in mesial and one in each distobuccal and distolingual root). RE was identified with preoperative radiograph, modifying the access cavity preparation, locating the canals followed by cleaning, and shaping of canals with nickel-titanium instruments. Obturation was done with respective master cones and sealapex sealer.
