Résumé
Anomalies in primary teeth are comparatively fewer than in the permanent teeth. The presence of a primary canine with two roots is very rare. An unusual anomaly like this may lead to problems during extraction or exfoliation. Emphasis on the importance of anomalies is required for proper diagnosis and to facilitate a better treatment outcome. The present case report describes a case of a bilateral bi-rooted primary maxillary canines diagnosed during a radiographic examination in a 9-year-old Saudi boy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of bi-rooted primary maxillary canine reported from the region of Saudi Arabia. This case report aims to increase awareness of the morphological alterations in primary canines and to emphasize the importance of diagnosis and radiographic examination using different angles. Clinicians should consider all the possible tooth variations during routine intra-oral and radiographic examinations to facilitate a better treatment outcome and to avoid unwanted complications.
