three-rooted maxillary and bi-rooted mandibular primary canines: a case report

Multi-rooted primary canine is a rare anomaly in the primary dentition. the most common and normal form of root morphology in primary canines is a single root, while rare cases of bi-rooted or three-rooted canines have been reported in different ethnic groups. this anomaly is often discovered accidentally on routine radiographs. the anomaly often occurs bilaterally in the maxilla. this report presents a case of bilateral three rooted maxillary and unilateral bi-rooted mandibular primary canines in a four-year-old iranian boy. this study aims to increase clinicians' awareness regarding this unique variation and emphasize the importance of radiological examination prior to root canal treatment.
