Abstract: Aim To Report the Diagnosis And Management Of A Case Series Of C Shaped Canals In Mandibular Second Molars. Summary A thorough knowledge of the root canal morphology is required for successful endodontic therapy. coupled with information gleaned from preoperative dental radiography, the clinician can assess to a great extent the anatomic challenges in each tooth. Although not all-encompassing, preoperative radiographs might aid in visualizing and observing the main anatomy of various root canal systems. One of the most important anatomic variations is the c shape configuration of the canal system. C shape canal presents an extensive complex system and is mostly seen in mandibular second molars. The c-shape configuration presents a challenge to debridement and obturation. This paper reports two cases of c shaped canal in the mandibular second molar which were diagnosed and managed successfully.
