Demystifying anatomical variations – Endodontic therapy of twin rooted mandibular canine with concomitant root canals: An unusual case report

Abstract

The precise knowledge of endocanalicular systems of different human teeth is a "road map" for the successful root canal treatment. Permanent mandibular canines usually contain one root with a single root canal. Many investigators have reported the anatomical variations associated with mandibular canines. This paper describes case of root canal therapy of permanent mandibular canine having two roots and two root canals (Type IV, Weine’s Classification). The clinicians must always suspect anatomical varieties and use all the available tools to diagnose and manage the cases.
