Summary
A rare bilateral anomaly of two-rooted primary maxillary canines was identified in a 9-year-old Saudi boy. This finding highlights the importance of radiographic examination for diagnosing unusual dental variations in children.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Dental Anatomy
Background:
- Dental anomalies in primary teeth are less common than in permanent teeth.
- A primary canine with two roots is an exceptionally rare occurrence.
- Such anomalies can complicate dental procedures like extraction or exfoliation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of bilateral bi-rooted primary maxillary canines.
- To emphasize the significance of diagnosing morphological alterations in primary teeth.
- To highlight the role of radiographic examination in identifying dental variations.
Main Methods:
- A case report detailing a diagnosed anomaly in a 9-year-old Saudi boy.
- Radiographic examination was used for diagnosis.
- Bilateral primary maxillary canines were identified with an unusual root structure.
Main Results:
- The study identified a rare case of bilateral bi-rooted primary maxillary canines.
- This is the first reported instance of this anomaly in Saudi Arabia.
- The diagnosis was made through radiographic examination.
Conclusions:
- Increased awareness of morphological alterations in primary canines is crucial.
- Routine radiographic examinations are essential for early and accurate diagnosis.
- Considering potential tooth variations aids in better treatment outcomes and complication avoidance.

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

If in an experiment, data values have a probability of being both positive and negative, neither the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean, nor the harmonic mean can be used to calculate the central tendency of the data set. In particular, if the positive and negative values are equally likely, the arithmetic mean is close to zero.
For example, consider the velocity of gas molecules in a container. The gas molecules are moving in different directions, which might impart positive and negative...
