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.
