Abstract

     The key factor in successful root canal treatment is cleaning the root canal complex, especially in the mandibular premolar, with various root canal morphology. Primarily, a single canal is found in the mandibular premolar, and only 2.7-3.8% may find more than one canal. These case reports consist of two patients of interest that show a method for identifying the location of the orifice, enlargement, shape of the root canal, and obturation of the canals. The mandibular first premolar with bifurcated canals and the mandibular second premolar with trifurcated canals were treated by conventional root canal treatment. They then were followed up at six months and one year, respectively. The results showed that those treated teeth were asymptomatic and received permanent restoration. The radiograph also showed a complete disappearance of the pathology around the root of the tooth.
