Triple rooted Mandibular Premolar

This was referred by a clinician who started the case thinking it was a regular premolar. Looking at the radiograph that the referral e-mailed me, I was expecting a Two-canalled premolar. The master-cone radiograph showed the lack of centricity of the two canals i had discovered. I went back in and found the third canal.

Deep split

This maxillary premolar bufurcated quite deep into two canals. These type of cases are good examples of anatomy that can easily be missed without magnification.
