A rare case of a double-rooted maxillary lateral incisor in a 14-year-old girl was successfully treated with endodontics. This finding highlights the importance of recognizing unusual root anatomy in dental diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology

Background:

  • Buccoapical fistulas can indicate underlying periapical pathology.
  • Maxillary lateral incisors typically present with a single root.
  • Anatomical variations in tooth roots are uncommon but significant.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female patient presented with a buccoapical fistula associated with tooth #22.
  • Radiographic examination revealed a periapical radiolucency and evidence of two distinct roots for the maxillary lateral incisor.
  • The tooth exhibited unusual root morphology, specifically root division.

Findings:

  • Successful endodontic treatment was performed on the affected tooth.
  • Post-treatment follow-up demonstrated normal healing of the periapical region.

  • The case confirms the successful management of endodontic complications arising from anomalous root anatomy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic significance of recognizing rare root variations, such as root division in maxillary lateral incisors.
    • Accurate radiographic interpretation is crucial for effective endodontic treatment planning in cases with complex anatomy.
    • Understanding these anomalies aids in predicting treatment outcomes and preventing complications.
