Mandibular second premolars with three canals (Type V, Vertucci) and separate foramina are very infrequent. The incidence of three canals in mandibular second premolar has been reported to be 0.46–0.5%. The present report describes non-surgical endodontic treatment of mandibular second premolar with three canals. In this case, three orifices were located in mesiobuccal, distobuccal, and lingual. The clinicians must be aware of such anatomical variations and be able to use a variety of tools for adequate diagnosis and management.
