Summary
This case report details an extremely rare instance of a female patient presenting with two root canals in both mandibular canines. Recognizing such rare anatomical variations is crucial for successful root canal treatment.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Anatomy
Background:
- Mandibular canines typically exhibit a single root canal, with variations being uncommon.
- The presence of two root canals in a mandibular canine is rare, occurring in only 2%-6% of cases.
Observation:
- This case report documents an exceptionally rare bilateral occurrence of mandibular canines with two roots and two root canals.
- The patient was female, and the condition was identified during multidisciplinary dental management.
Findings:
- The study highlights the presence of a highly unusual root canal anatomy in both mandibular canines.
- Successful multidisciplinary management was achieved despite the anatomical complexity.
Implications:
- Accurate identification of root canal anatomy, including rare variations, is essential for effective endodontic treatment.
- This case underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation to prevent endodontic treatment failure.
