Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;&#10;line-height:200%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">The successful endodontic therapy demands extensive knowledge of tooth morphology and its variations. It is presumed to have a single canal in single-rooted teeth. Mandibular incisor sometimes marks a challenge for the clinician because of its small size, varied internal anatomy and a higher probability of two canals. This case report highlights the presence of extra canal in mandibular anterior teeth (Vertucci&rsquo;s type II) with a periapical lesion. Various methods to detect its presence, modification in access preparation and healing of periapical lesion has been described in this case report.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
