Unusually long root of Maxillary lateral Incisor: A rare case report with Adjacent central Incisor root canal Treatment

Abstract: 

The Successful root canal treatment depends on meticulous biomechanical preparation of canal, followed by proper obturation and prompt coronal restoration. To achieve this the clinician must possess a comprehensive understanding of both internal and external tooth morphology, including possible anatomical variations. At times, treatment may be required in root canal systems that deviate from the typical anatomical descriptions found in textbooks. This report highlights the endodontic procedure of unusually elongated maxillary lateral incisors. Case Presentation: A 23-yearold male patient was referred toclinic for endodontic treatment of left maxillary lateral incisor, presenting with a chief complaint of spacing that affected his dental aesthetics. During the procedure, the tooth was observed to have an unusually long canal, with a working length of 29mm. Root canal treatment was completed successfully, and the patient remained asymptomatic on follow-up. Conclusion: Though the patient presents a left maxillary lateral incisor with canal length in the upper limit of some reported cases, it is unusual in our environment.
