Abstract:
Success of endodontic therapy depends to a large extent on the thorough mechanical cleansing of each root canal. One of the main reasons for failure in root canal therapy is a lack of knowledge of the anatomy of the pulp cavity and the inability to detect the presence of an additional canal which can then not be prepared and filled during treatment. In this case report, we present a very rare case of successful endodontic treatment of a maxillary second premolar and mandibular central incisor having Vertucci Type III root canal morphological system. This case report series highlights the importance of having a thorough knowledge of all possible root canal irregularities.
