Abstract

Priyesha Rathod

A successful root canal therapy requires an extensive knowledge of tooth anatomy and root canal morphology because of anatomical variations in root canal system. The maxillary canine is normally single-rooted with a single canal, and deviations from that are relatively rare. Vertucci1 Classified the human permanent teeth root canal configurations into different types ranging from single to three separate and distinct canals. This article presents a case of endodontic management of a maxillary canine in which there is an additional canal. The extra canal opening was located with the help of a Dental operating microscope (DOM).
