Sažetak
Roots of the second mandibular molar often fuse so the purpose of this investigation was to examine the appearance of "C" shaped root canals and to classify different root canal types. A hundred and twelve randomly chosen second lower permanent molars after extraction due to periodontal disease were prepared and then analysed. Contrast liquid was injected into prepared teeth. Each tooth was cut into slices to view the root canal morphology. Results of the analysis revealed fusion, either total or partial in 14 cases (12, 5%).As a conclusion various appearances were classified into 5 types according to the fused canal shapes and the frequency of different types varied from 0, 89 to 6, 25%.
