Endodontic treatment of a maxillary central incisor with two separate roots: case report.
This case report involves endodontic treatment of a traumatized maxillary central incisor with two separate roots. Although the literature has reported that maxillary central incisors always have one root with one canal, this report (among others) serves to remind dentists that occasional morphological variations exist and should be ruled out when this type of tooth is treated.
