TWO CANALS IN MANDIBULAR INCISORS

Abstract

Traditionally, endodontic treatment on mandibular incisors is regarded as rather simple, thus it is widely considered that a less-than-experienced clinicians can perform the treatment satisfactorily. However, it has been evidenced that surprisingly more than 40% of the mandibular incisors have two canals; hence its treatment may not be as easy as widely considered.

The purpose of this article is to illustrate how complicated the mandibular incisors canal anatomy can be, and suggest several clinical implications on its treatment.
