Maxillary lateral incisors classically has configuration of one root with one canal. However, variation in anatomy and morphology is not an exception. Radiographs from different angulations specially mesial and distal are critical in such cases of atypical root canal anatomy, although more precision can be expected with operating microscope and cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Meticulous knowledge and careful diagnosis of canal configurations, developmental anomalies and careful pretreatment assessment of radiographs is essential. This case report enlightens the need for consideration during endodontic management of maxillary lateral incisors.

“…Maxillary lateral incisors normally have a single root and single canal [3]. However, morphological variations for these teeth include the presence of two [4, 5], three [6, 7], four [8], and even five canals [9], usually associated with the occurrence of traumatic stimuli during tooth development process [10]. Other morphological variations such as dens invagination [9, 11], radicular groove [12], and fusion [13] have also been reported.…”

This paper reports a case of gemination in a maxillary lateral incisor with two root canals and crown-root dilaceration. A 16-year-old male patient was referred for endodontic treatment of the maxillary left lateral incisor and evaluation of esthetic and functional complaints in the anterior region. The patient reported trauma to the anterior primary teeth. There was no spontaneous pain, but the tooth responded positively to the vertical percussion test and negatively to the pulp vitality test. Clinical examination showed esthetic and functional alterations and normal periodontal tissues. CBCT imaging confirmed the suspicion of gemination and crown-root dilaceration and also revealed the presence of two root canals and periapical bone rarefaction. The root canals were instrumented with Reciproc R40 and 1% NaOCl irrigation and were filled by lateral condensation of gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. The tooth was definitely restored with composite resin to recover esthetics. Continued follow-up over 6 months has shown absence of pain or clinical alterations as well as radiographic image suggestive of apical repair.

“…[ 2 ] Failure to recognize and treat an extra canal might provide a constant source of irritation, thereby compromising the long-term success of the root canal therapy. [ 3 ] Vertucci has classified morphological patterns of the root canal systems into eight types. [ 4 5 ] In general, the mandibular incisors have one root canal with one apical foramen (Vertucci Type I) or two root canals with one apical foramen (Vertucci Type II).…”

Abnormalities in the root canal anatomy are commonly occurring phenomenon. A thorough knowledge of root canal anatomy and its variation is necessary for successful completion of endodontic treatment. Mandibular anteriors are known for having extra canals. The role of genetics and racial variations may result in difference of incidence of root number and canal number. This paper attempts at explaining a rare case of successful endodontic management of two-rooted lateral incisor with awareness of data pertaining to number of canals, knowledge of canal morphology, correct radiographic interpretation, and tactile examination of canal wall which are important in detecting the presence of multiple canals.
