J Conserv Dent. 2008 Oct;11(4):168-70. doi: 10.4103/0972-0707.48842.

Abstract

Complex and unusual root canal morphology is an often occurring phenomenon. Understanding the unusual root canal morphology contributes to success in endodontic treatment. One such variant root canal morphology is the 'S' shaped or bayonet shaped root canal. This case report discusses endodontic treatment of a maxillary second premolar with an 'S' shaped root canal.

Keywords: Bayonet shaped canal; S-shaped canals; double-flare technique.
