ABSTRACT:
The main goal of endodontic treatment is the correct diagnosis, optimal mechanical and chemical preparation and three-dimensional obturation of the root canal. Reasons for endodontic failure can be variations in the anatomy of the teeth - the presence of additional root canals, lateral canals, intricate anatomy of the apical delta. Very often lower incisors occurred more than one root canal. Many dentists are treating this group of teeth under general assumption, that they possess single canal. The purpose of this article is to present the treatment of lower lateral incisor with three root canals and discuss the signs of the existence of additional root canals.
Key words: endodontic treatment, additional root canals.
