Operator mishaps significantly affects root canal treatment outcome. However, several factors affect root canal anatomy of teeth. Therefore, knowledge of teeth anatomy and the use of advanced technologies like cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT), magnification, and illumination are crucial for better diagnostic purposes and to avoid any procedural errors. In this case report, we present a case of a 32‐year‐old male patient with a radiopaque foreign body associated with a lower first premolar tooth and how do the use of advanced technologies could affect the treatment outcome.
