Anomalies in primary teeth are comparatively fewer than in the permanent teeth. The presence of a primary canine with two roots is very rare. An unusual anomaly like this may lead to problems during extraction or exfoliation. Emphasis on the importance of anomalies is required for proper diagnosis and to facilitate a better treatment outcome.
The present case report describes a case of a bilateral bi-rooted primary maxillary canines diagnosed during a radiographic examination in a 9-year-old Saudi boy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of bi-rooted primary maxillary canine reported from the region of Saudi Arabia.
This case report aims to increase awareness of the morphological alterations in primary canines and to emphasize the importance of diagnosis and radiographic examination using different angles. Clinicians should consider all the possible tooth variations during routine intra-oral and radiographic examinations to facilitate a better treatment outcome and to avoid unwanted complications.
乳牙的异常情况比恒牙相对较少。存在双根的乳尖牙非常罕见。这样一种不寻常的异常情况可能在拔除或乳牙脱落过程中导致问题。为了进行正确诊断并促进更好的治疗效果，需要强调异常情况的重要性。
本病例报告描述了一名9岁沙特男孩在影像学检查中被诊断出双侧双根乳上颌尖牙的病例。据我们所知，这是沙特阿拉伯地区报道的首例双根乳上颌尖牙病例。
本病例报告旨在提高对乳尖牙形态改变的认识，并强调从不同角度进行诊断和影像学检查的重要性。临床医生在常规口腔内检查和影像学检查过程中应考虑到所有可能的牙齿变异情况，以促进更好的治疗效果并避免不必要的并发症。
