Demystifying anatomical variations – Endodontic therapy of twin rooted mandibular canine with concomitant root canals: An unusual case report

Abstract

The precise knowledge of endocanalicular systems of different human teeth is a "road map" for the successful root canal treatment. Permanent mandibular canines usually contain one root with a single root canal. Many investigators have reported the anatomical variations associated with mandibular canines. This paper describes case of root canal therapy of permanent mandibular canine having two roots and two root canals (Type IV, Weine’s Classification). The clinicians must always suspect anatomical varieties and use all the available tools to diagnose and manage the cases.

Endodontic management of Type-2 and Type-3 C-shaped root canal system in mandibular second molars: A case series

“…The prognosis of endodontically treated tooth largely depends on the meticulous cleaning, shaping and filling of the complex root canal system. 1 A large variation in canal configuration is seen among teeth; mandibular second molar being of particular interest. Cooke and Cox in 1979 2 was first to document C-shaped canal in literature.…”
