Abstract

Anatomical variation in the human mandibular canine is illustrated with this clinical case report. Endodontic treatment may sometimes fail because morphological features of the tooth adversely affect the treatment outcome. Researchers have reported the variations in the anatomy associated with mandibular canines. In general mandibular canines have one root and one root canal in most cases, although approximately 15% may have two canals or sometimes two roots. The focus of this case report is to describe a clinical case of mandibular canines with two roots and two canals.
