Popis: Key Clinical Message Formulating an effective root canal treatment plan necessitates clinician awareness of the complexities of the root canal system and possible anatomic challenges. The C‐shaped canal variation accompanying the radicular lingual groove makes the lingual dentinal wall so thin that cleaning and shaping of canals require accurate management. This report presents endodontic treatment of a C‐shaped mandibular second molar diagnosed with pulpal necrosis and asymptomatic apical periodontitis, that initial radiographic assessment revealed extremely thin (0.3 mm) width of the lingual wall of the canals prone to perforation. Mechanical preparation was performed through the anti‐curvature technique and basically by chemical irrigation rather than mechanical instrumentation. The C‐shaped isthmus was prepared up to 25/02 rotary system without dentinal defect while maintaining adequate dentin thickness so as to not significantly reduce the strength of the root. Follow‐up radiographs showed normal periodontal ligament and lamina dura indicating significant healing of the periapical lesion.
