“…Therefore, thorough knowledge of both the external and internal anatomy of teeth is of great importance for successful endodontic treatment. [2] This case report presents a striking feature of presence of extra root in the mandibular lateral incisor. Non-surgical endodontic root canal treatment was planned for all 4 mandibular incisors.…”

“…[10] From a clinical standpoint, only by correct examination and interpretation of radiographic images the clinician can detect variations in both root and canal anatomy and be aware of them before and during endodontic procedures. [2] A variety of techniques have been used to study the internal anatomy of lower incisors. Although radiographs are unlikely to show the complexities of the root canal system such as lateral canals and eccentrically located apical foramina, but it can reveal the main anatomical features.…”

Successful outcome of endodontic treatment depends on the identification of all root canals which in turn guarantee complete extirpation of pulp tissue, proper chemo-mechanical cleaning and shaping and three dimensional obturation of the root canal system with an inert filling material. However endodontic treatment can fail for many reasons, such as diagnostic errors, persistence of the infection in the root canal system, errors in debridement and shaping of the root canal systems, instrument fractures, poor restorations and extra roots or canals if not detected are the reasons for failure. Undetected extra roots or root canals have been considered as a major reason for failure of root canal treatment. Many of the challenges faced during root canal treatment may be directly attributed to an inadequate understanding of the canal morphology of teeth. A broad knowledge of both the external and internal anatomy of teeth is of great importance for adequate endodontic treatment. We present a case report of 2 roots in mandibular lateral incisor.

This case report is on endodontic retreatment of a maxillary central incisor with two roots. A twenty-year-old male patient presented with pain in maxillary left central incisor. Radiographic examination showed an incompletely filled canal and an additional palatal root with periapical radiolucent lesion. Conventional cleaning and shaping of both the roots, i.e., buccal and additional palatal root canals was performed and obturation was done. After one year recall examination, the tooth was asymptomatic and periapical lesion had healed.

“…O claro entendimento da anatomia do canal radicular da dentição humana é um pré-requisito para o sucesso dos procedimentos endodônticos convencionais (GONDIM et al, 2009;RODRIGUES et al, 2009;FARAMARZI et al, 2010) e, desta maneira, faz-se necessário que o clínico compreenda não apenas a anatomia dental, mas as suas variações (ATIEH, 2008;ALMEIDA-GOMES et al, 2009), o que facilita a limpeza, modelagem e obturação dos canais radiculares (JAFARZADEH; WU, 2007).…”

Introdução: o tratamento endodôntico visa manter o dente na cavidade bucal mesmo com a perda de sua vitalidade pulpar. No entanto, a ocorrência de variações na anatomia dental pode dificultar e/ou comprometer a eficácia do tratamento. Objetivo: realizar uma revisão da literatura acerca das variações anatômicas que podem interferir no tratamento endodôntico. Revisão: relatos de diferentes tipos de variações anatômicas acometendo todos os elementos dentais foram encontrados na literatura, além de diferentes métodos diagnósticos auxiliares. Conclusão: para um tratamento endodôntico de sucesso, é essencial ter amplo conhecimento da anatomia dental, pois qualquer elemento dentário pode ser acometido por variações na sua anatomia. Cabe ao cirurgião dentista, na prática clínica, sempre desconfiar da existência dessas variações e fazer uma investigação criteriosa para que seja possível estabelecer corretamente o diagnóstico e definir a abordagem terapêutica mais apropriada.
