Description

Thorough knowledge and understanding of pulp chamber and root canal system anatomy are essential for successful root canal therapy. Familiarity with variations in tooth anatomy and characteristic features in various racial groups can aid location and negotiation of canals1.Missed extra root canals are major reason for endodontic failure2.
    According to the previous study the various canal configurations reported in maxillary canines were Type I (81.6%), Type II (2.8%), Type III (11.6%), Type IV (0.8%), and Type V (2%) based on Vertucci's classification. Pulp canal system is complex with branching and divisions throughout the root length 3.
