ABSTRACT:The endodontic failure is usually due to the failure in recognizing the variations in root and its root canal anatomy. Hence, it is important to have a detailed knowledge of commonest possible aberrations and anamolies of the tooth being treated. Mandibular premolar is considered as “Endodontist Enigma” due its unpredictable root canal anatomy which often complicates the endodontic treatment. The present case report i.e mandibular first premolar with two roots highlights the importance of sound knowledge of root canal anatomy and the importance of dental operating microscope in treating such complex cases.
