title: Mandibular canine with two separated canals.
abstract: The aim of endodontic treatment is to eliminate infection from the root canal by cleaning and shaping. Multiple factors, such as a broken instrument or anatomical variations in root canals, lead to treatment failure. This article describes a mandibular canine with two canals and two foramina. It is presented here to raise awareness of the importance of an improved access cavity in detecting excess canals.
