Abstract

The Knowledge of the root canal morphology is essential for the success of the endodontic treatment. The most-common anatomical configuration in mandibular canines is to have one root with one canal. However, previous-studies reported 4.6% to 15% of the cases to have a second canal. In order to increase the knowledge about root canal morphology in the Saudi population, we reported a clinical case about successful endodontic management of mandibular canine with two joined canals (Vertucci type II) in Saudi females.
