A 37-yr-old male presented with a symptomatic maxillary right lateral incisor that
had previous root canal therapy. The periapical radiograph revealed the possibility.
of a second canal despite the rarity of such an occurrence in maxillary lateral incisors.
A second canal was located, treated, and the patient's symptoms were eliminated. Knowledge
of developmental anomalies and careful pretreatment evaluation of radiographs is essential
for diagnosing unusual canal morphology.
Un paciente de 31 años de edad se presentó con síntomas en el lateral superior derecho
el cual habiá recibido previo tratamiento endodóntico. Una radiografia periapical
reveló la possible presencia de un segundo canal lo cual es sumamente raro en incisivos
laterales superiores. Un segundo canal fue localizado y tratado, resultando en la
eliminación de los síntomas. Un conocimiento de las posibles anomalías durante el
desarrollo dental al igual que la evaluacion detallada de las radiografiás pre-tratamiento
son esenciales para el diagnóstico de morfologiá de canales poco usuales.
