Maxillary incisors are typically straightforward cases for root canal therapy. While it is commonly assumed that maxillary central incisors have a single root canal, they may occasionally exhibit variations in their root canal system anatomy. In this report, we present a case of a maxillary central incisor with multiple root canals and provide a review of relevant literature on this anatomical variation. A 13-year-old female with deep carious lesion in tooth 11 was admitted in Department of Endodontics. Following a precise clinical and radiographic examination, a maxillary central incisor with necrotic pulp and chronic apical periodontitis along with unusual root anatomy was found and considered for non-surgical root canal treatment. Successful treatment results depend on various factors and awareness of root canal system anatomy is one of them. Due to an increasing number of reported cases of maxillary central incisors with different anatomy, it is imperative to consider anatomical variations even in the most routine cases.

Traumatic injuries to primary dentition may interfere with the development of permanent dentition. Among the many malformations, dilaceration is particularly important to the clinician. Management of dilacerated maxillary central incisor requires a multidisciplinary approach. The main purpose of this review is to present the etiological factors, the mechanism, clinical features, radiographic features and treatment of dilaceration of the maxillary central incisors.

BACKGROUND: It is widely accepted that the permanent maxillary central incisor almost invariably has a single canal.
RESULTS: This case reports a maxillary central incisor canal morphology that differs from this predominant form, a single-rooted permanent maxillary central incisor with 1 main canal that separated into 2 distinct canals in the apical third with 2 apical foramina. The presence of a superimposed mesioden was also established. Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment achieved an optimal result.
CONCLUSIONS: There is greater variation in root canal morphology of permanent maxillary central incisors than population studies would suggest.
