Management of Rare Case of Mandibular Canine with Two Roots and Two Root Canals.

Abstract

Mandibular canine commonly has one root and one root canal. However, there has been a noticeable variations in its morphology such as the presence of two roots and two root canals. Inspite of the low incidence of two roots in mandibular canines (5.7%) the possibility of variations in root canal anatomy of mandibular canine should not be ignored by dentist. A 35 year old female patient reported with dull pain in mandibular left canine. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed two roots in mandibular canine 33 (Vertucci type IV) with associated periapical lesion. A complete preoperative examination and diagnosis with more than a single radiographic projection, usage of magnification aids like dental loupes, straight line access allowed for proper diagnosis and management of this type of anatomic variation. The aim of this article is to present a case of a mandibular canine with two roots and two root canals.
