Abstract :
This article aims at providing an insight to the clinical modifications required for the endodontic management of severely
dilacerated mandibular third molar. A 35-year-old patient was referred for the root canal treatment of the mandibular left third
molar. An intraoral periapical radiograph revealed a severe curvature in both the canals. A wide trapezoidal access was prepared
following the use of intermediate-sized files for apical preparation. Owing to increased flexibility, Hero Shaper NITI files were
used for the biomechanical preparation and single cone obturation was carried out. Third molars owing to their most posterior
location-limited access coupled with a severe curvature pose utmost clinical challenges require meticulous skill, advanced
technology, and patience to achieve success.
