A rare case of a bi-rooted upper canine, a dental anomaly, was successfully treated with endodontic therapy. This highlights the importance of recognizing unusual tooth anatomy variations in dental practice.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Anatomy
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Dental anomalies present unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Upper canines typically have a single root, making bi-rooted variations uncommon.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a bi-rooted maxillary canine, an unusual anatomical variation.
  • The tooth also exhibited pulp necrosis, necessitating endodontic intervention.

Findings:

  • Successful endodontic treatment was achieved for the bi-rooted upper canine.
  • The complex root morphology required careful instrumentation and obturation.

Implications:

  • Clinicians must maintain vigilance for rare dental anomalies like bi-rooted canines.
