Abstract : The purpose of this study was to investigate the root canal morphology of extracted two-rooted second mandibular molars. Seventy-seven two-rooted mandibular second molars were used. Gutta-percha point was inserted into the root canal after root canal preparation by a standardized method. Transparent specimens were made from the test teeth and the root canal morphology was evaluated on images taken with a digital microscope. As for the mesial root, 70.1% were two-root canals, whereas for the distal root 88.3% were single-root canals. Although two-rooted mandibular second molars have a simple root canal configuration, in some cases the root canal system is complex, so careful root canal detection is necessary.
