ABSTRACT :
Introduction: A complete knowledge of root canal morphology is a mandatory for the endodontic therapy to be successful. Aim: The purpose of this article is to emphasize on the thorough knowledge of root canal anatomy. Methods: This case report describes the endodontic treatment of maxillary lateral incisor with three root canals which was confirmed using angulated radiographs(mesial and distal). Results: Maxillary lateral incisor with a three root canal configuration rarely reported in the literature. The tooth had one root with three root canals, one individual canal and two canals crossing at the apical third. This case report describes the successful endodontic retreatment of the maxillary left lateral incisors having combination of vertucci type I & type VII root canal morphological system. Conclusion: This case report describes the endodontic treatment of maxillary left lateral incisor with three root canals, with emphasis on rate of occurrence of multiple canals, and the importance of their identification and treatment.
