Mandibular canine with two roots and three canals - report of a rare case

Mandibular canines usually exhibit a single root and canal. The related literature reveals very few studies showing extra roots and canals in these teeth. This case report presents the successful root canal treatment of a rare occurrence in a mandibular canine of two roots and three canals.
