Maxillary incisors are typically straightforward cases for root canal therapy. While it is commonly assumed that maxillary central incisors have a single root canal, they may occasionally exhibit variations in their root canal system anatomy. In this report, we present a case of a maxillary central incisor with multiple root canals and provide a review of relevant literature on this anatomical variation. A 13-year-old female with deep carious lesion in tooth 11 was admitted in Department of Endodontics. Following a precise clinical and radiographic examination, a maxillary central incisor with necrotic pulp and chronic apical periodontitis along with unusual root anatomy was found and considered for non-surgical root canal treatment. Successful treatment results depend on various factors and awareness of root canal system anatomy is one of them. Due to an increasing number of reported cases of maxillary central incisors with different anatomy, it is imperative to consider anatomical variations even in the most routine cases.
上颌切牙通常是根管治疗的简单病例。虽然人们通常认为上颌中切牙有单一根管,但它们偶尔可能在根管系统解剖结构上表现出变异。在本报告中,我们展示了一例上颌中切牙有多个根管的病例,并对有关这种解剖变异的相关文献进行了综述。一名13岁女性因11号牙深龋病变入住牙髓病科。经过精确的临床和影像学检查,发现一颗上颌中切牙牙髓坏死且患有慢性根尖周炎,同时伴有异常的牙根解剖结构,并考虑进行非手术根管治疗。成功的治疗结果取决于多种因素,而对根管系统解剖结构的了解是其中之一。由于报告的上颌中切牙解剖结构不同的病例越来越多,即使在最常规的病例中也必须考虑解剖变异。
