New system of classification for the morphology of root canal of left mandibular first premolar classified with the new system of classification, narrated as code 1351. The code is consisting of three components, first is the tooth number represented by the blue arrow, the second is number of roots symbolized by the green arrow and the third is the configuration of the canal depicted by the black arrow.
