Treatment considerations in a geminated maxillary lateral incisor.
A patient with anomalous maxillary lateral incisor was referred for endodontic therapy. A diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis of a geminated maxillary lateral incisor was made. The preoperative radiograph revealed an image of a single root canal but in fact the tooth had two separate and distinct root canals. Treatment considerations of this anomaly are discussed.
