Successful endodontic management of permanent maxillary and mandibular second molars with supernumerary roots - Two rare case reports

Success in root canal treatment is achieved after thorough cleaning and shaping followed by the complete obturation of the root canal system. Such treatment may be performed in root canal systems that do not comply with the normal anatomical features described in standard textbooks. Supernumerary root is a developmental condition which is not uncommon and may involve any tooth. These case reports describe successful endodontic management of maxillary second molar with an extra palatal root and an anomalous mandibular second molar with a supernumerary root in between mesial and distal roots.
