Surprise, surprise! Although I can’t see what #28 looked like before the initial RCT was done, I imagine it looked a lot like #29. This is an example of a , which is where one canal splits into two or more smaller canals. Radiographically this presents as a canal that disappears apically because the smaller canals may not be visible. So, any tooth that has this radiographic presentation should be inspected for multiple canals, even if it is a tooth that is statistically unlikely to have multiple canals like a lower premolar
