Endodontic treatment of biradicular mandibular canines: Case reports

Abstract

The knowledge of root canal system of different human teeth is a “road map” for the successful root canal treatment. Mandibular canine usually contains one root with a single root canal, but rarely it may possess two canals and even less frequently two roots and two or three canals. Two rooted mandibular canine is a rare phenomenon. Literature report shows incidence of two-rooted canine as low as 1.7%. This article highlights the identification and endodontic management of two cases of a rare anatomical variation in mandibular canine with two roots and two canals.
