Abstract
Presence of two canals in mandibular central incisors is an important
anatomical variation that may be missed during endodontic treatment, resulting
in persistent symptoms and treatment failure. A 41-year-old male patient
reported with spontaneous pain and sensitivity in the lower anterior region of
the jaw. Clinical examination and pulp sensibility testing revealed symptomatic
irreversible pulpitis in relation to the mandibular central incisor.
Conventional radiographic examination suggested the possibility of a second
canal arranged in a labial-lingual configuration. Nonsurgical root canal
treatment was carried out using rotary instrumentation, copious irrigation,
sonic activation of irrigants, and obturation with gutta-percha and AH Plus
sealer. At follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with satisfactory
clinical and radiographic outcomes. This case highlights the importance of
careful radiographic assessment, modified access cavity preparation, and
magnification in the successful management of anatomical variations in
mandibular anterior teeth.
