Endodontic Management of Mandibular Canine with Vertucci Type III Configuration: A Case Report. J Oper Dent Endod 2021; 6 (1):28-30.
Mandibular canines usually present with single root and root canal. Two canals were reported with incidence rate of 4–12%. Understanding these variations was of utmost importance for the successful endodontic treatment. Failure to do so can lead to patient coming back with sensitivity, persistent pain which ultimately leads to treatment failure. Present case report describes the endodontic management of a mandibular canine with Vertucci type III configuration.
