Abstract
Mandibular premolars can be one of the most difficult
teeth to treat endodontically because of the variations
in root canal anatomy.
According to England, Hartwell and Lance,3 variation
in root canal anatomy is one of the main reasons why
mandibular premolars have a high frequency of failures
and flare-ups. The literature indicates that the incidence
of the number of roots and the number of canals varies
greatly in human teeth.
