Endodontic management of mandibular canine with type two canal configuration: A case report

Abstract

Mandibular canines are usually seen with a single root and a single canal. The occurrence of two canal joining to one foramen is a rare entity with approximately 15% prevalence. Successful endodontic treatment relies on proper diagnosis, thorough cleaning and shaping followed by three dimensional obturation. It also depends upon the clinician's knowledge and ability to manage aberrant anatomy. Failure to achieve this results in post endodontic complications. This paper presents a case report of bilateral mandibular canine having two root canals which merge into one canal and one foramina.
