Abstract:
This case report presents the diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapy of a two-rooted maxillary central incisor. A 21-year-old female was referred for treatment of a severely compromised tooth #21. Clinical and radiographic evaluation with periapical radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed the presence of a two-rooted central incisor with significant bone loss. Root canal therapy was performed. Two years post-operatively, the tooth was fully functional, with complete healing of the periapical tissues. Root canal treatment with meticulous treatment planning is a valid option even in most complicated and compromised cases.
