Introduction: The knowledge of the root canal morphology helpful in the RCT that end with successful therapy resulted from proper mechanical and chemical debridement then filling the root canals. Missing a canal without cleaning and shaping leading to failure of the treatment because of the persistent infection caused by the remaining microorganisms within the canal that effect on the outcomes.
Aim of this study: The evaluation of foundation of 2nd root in lower canine or one root with two canals mandibular canine by using CBCT.
Material and methods:A 316 patients come to our clinic (Baghdad smile clinics, Baghdad, Iraq) for different treatment modalities, after taking CBCT image retrieved to analyze the morphology of permanent mandibular canine for each side , the data that collected with exclusion of the missing of any other side of canine, incomplete root formation, root canal treated tooth, tooth with periapical pathology and any internal or external tooth resorption.
Results:32 of 632 cases (5%) showed two rooted mandibular canines. The bilateral examination shows 8 cases only has bilateral mandibular canines with two roots while the others shown in the left side only. Variable root canal configuration shows in 36 cases (5.6%).
Conclusions:Depending on the CBCT examination , the majority of cases have single root with single canal. All two rooted mandibular canine showed in female and most of them in left side. One root with two canals in lower canine showed in female more than male.
