Abstract

To successfully perform root canal therapy, the practitioner must have a thorough knowledge of the tooth anatomy both internally and externally. The maxillary central incisor is known to have only one root and one root canal. This case report describes the retreatment of a failing maxillary central incisor and how computerized tomography is of benefit in identifying additional canals in the tooth.
