A thorough knowledge of dental anatomy of both the permanent and primary dentition is essential for all treatment aspects of these teeth. All too often, the study of the anatomy of primary teeth is given secondary importance due to the fact that these teeth will exfoliate eventually. Rather than premature extraction, the retention of primary teeth through restorative or endodontic means is evolving amongst dental practitioners and endodontic and pediatric dental specialists. Thus, knowledge of the normal and abnormal anatomy of primary teeth is required in making diagnosis and treatment decisions in young patients. In rare incidences, as in cases of absent permanent premolars, primary teeth may be retained in the permanent arch and if the pulp becomes diseased, endodontic treatment may be among the treatment options. This article provides a comprehensive review of normal and abnormal morphology of the primary teeth with an emphasis on the roots and root canal systems of each of the teeth in the primary dentition.

“…Four cases of bilateral birooted permanent canines have been found [21,22]. Summaries of the few reported cases of birooted primary canines in Japanese, European and North American patients are shown in Table 2[2–14]. The prevalence of birooted primary canines appears to be higher in the maxilla than the mandibular.…”

“…Few primary teeth have additional roots and those that do are usually primary molars. Birooted primary canines are very rare but cases have been reported in Japanese, Afro‐Americans and Caucasians [2–14]. Only two cases of bilateral upper and lower birooted canines have been reported in the literature [2,3].…”

A rare case of birooted primary canines is reported. A male patient aged 6 years 4 months of age presented with pain and swelling related to the upper right first primary molar. Radiographic examination revealed an incidental finding of bifurcation of the roots of all four primary canines. This represents a rare finding. The prevalence of birooted permanent canines in the Japanese population has been reported, but the prevalence of this abnormality of primary canines in other populations is unknown. This report discusses the findings in the context of the available literature. The possible aetiology, possible inferences for the developing dentition, and the need for careful assessment prior to root canal therapy or extraction are highlighted.

“…The presence of a single root in a primary canine has been described as a normal and the most common form of root morphology. However, few cases have been reported regarding the presence of a bi-rooted primary canine, the first being in 1941 [2]. It has been seen that the prevalence of bi-rooted primary canines is higher in the maxilla than in the mandible and they seem to occur bilaterally [3].…”

Background Anomalies in primary teeth are comparatively fewer than in the permanent teeth. The presence of a primary canine with two roots is very rare. An unusual anomaly like this may lead to problems during extraction or exfoliation. Emphasis on the importance of anomalies is required for proper diagnosis and to facilitate a better treatment outcome. Case presentation The present case report describes a case of a bilateral bi-rooted primary maxillary canines diagnosed during a radiographic examination in a 9-year-old Saudi boy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of bi-rooted primary maxillary canine reported from the region of Saudi Arabia. Conclusion This case report aims to increase awareness of the morphological alterations in primary canines and to emphasize the importance of diagnosis and radiographic examination using different angles. Clinicians should consider all the possible tooth variations during routine intra-oral and radiographic examinations to facilitate a better treatment outcome and to avoid unwanted complications.
