Challenging anatomy: Successful management of a mandibular central incisor with two canals

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The presence of two canals in a mandibular central incisor represents a rare and complex challenge for dentists. This case report describes the management of a patient with a mandibular central incisor exhibiting two distinct root canals. It emphasizes the importance of understanding canal anatomy to avoid endodontic failures and highlights the difficulties associated with identifying and negotiating uncommon anatomical variations. The low incidence of this anatomical variant underscores the necessity for adequate preparation and a targeted approach in managing such cases.
