title: Surgical treatment of a three-rooted maxillary second premolar. Report of a case.
abstract: This article discusses surgical treatment of a maxillary second premolar with three roots. Conventional endodontic therapy was not possible because of complete calcification of the root canal systems. Apicoectomies and retrograde amalgam filling were performed on all roots, resulting in successful treatment.
