Endodontic treatment of a geminated maxillary incisor
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Gemination is a tooth anomaly caused when a single tooth bud attempts to divide. This results in a tooth with a size greater than normal, but with only one root canal. Therefore, due to its features and singularities, this geminated tooth demands careful attention for endodontic treatment Objective and case report: The purpose of this case report is to describe the endodontic treatment of a geminated maxillary central incisor. Conclusion: A good planning of all treatment stages, based on a careful clinical and radiographic examination, it is essential to reach the success in the endodontic treatment of geminated teeth.
