ABSTRACT
Success in root canal treatment is achieved after thorough cleaning and shaping followed by complete obturation of the canal system. Therefore, endodontic therapy requires specific and complete knowledge of the internal and external dental anatomy, and its variations in presentation. Such treatment may be performed in root canal systems that do not comply with the normal anatomical features described in standard textbooks. The internal anatomy of the maxillary central incisor is well known and usually presents one root canal system. This case report describes an endodontic retreatment of a maxillary central incisor with two canal systems.
RESUMEN
El éxito de los tratamientos de endodoncia sólo puede conseguirse mediante una completa asepsia, el modelado y la obturación del canal radicular. Por ello, los tratamientos de endodoncia requieren de un completo y detallado conocimiento de la anatomía interna y externa de los canales radiculares y de sus variantes. Este tipo de tratamiento puede realizarse en canales radiculares que no coincidan con las características anatómicas normales descritas como patrón por la literatura. La anatomía interna de los incisivos centrales superiores es bien conocida, presentando normalmente un canal radicular único. En este relato se describen los tratamientos endodóncicos de incisivo central superior con dos canales radiculares.
