Re-treatment of a Two-rooted Maxillary Central Incisor - A Case Report

Abstract

This case report is on endodontic retreatment of a maxillary central incisor with two roots. A twenty-year-old male patient presented with pain in maxillary left central incisor. Radiographic examination showed an incompletely filled canal and an additional palatal root with periapical radiolucent lesion. Conventional cleaning and shaping of both the roots, i.e., buccal and additional palatal root canals was performed and obturation was done. After one year recall examination, the tooth was asymptomatic and periapical lesion had healed.
