Abstract

  In younger age groups, mandibular first premolars are commonly extracted for orthodontic treatment. This case report describes the morphological variations in bilateral mandibular first premolars in a 14 year old healthy male patient who was undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Two roots and root canals were found in extracted bilateral mandibular first premolars.

Keywords: Mandibular First Premolars; Morphological Variations; Two Roots
