Human mandibular premolars gained popularity as they have complex root and root canal morphology. Multiple roots and canals are more common in mandibular first premolars when compared to mandibular second premolars. The occurrence of three root canals and separate foramina in mandibular second premolars is not common. In this case report, endodontic management of a three-rooted mandibular second premolar is discussed.
