Abstract

This case series reports the root canal treatment of five maxillary second molars with double palatal roots. Maxillary second molars are usually three-rooted, but rare cases may demonstrate the presence of four roots. Although this morphology is uncommon in clinical settings, a clinician should understand the complexities involved in the management of such cases
