Abstract

Radiographic findings are often found in common dental practice, bi-rooted canines represent a small of dental abnormalities that occur in the paediatric population as most cases are usually subdiagnostic in the case of no symptoms. The aim of this research is to report a case of a 6-year-old male patient, who attends to dental graduate clinic of San Francisco de Quito University, presenting a diagnosis of Early Childhood Caries (ECC). The radiological examination revealed an abnormal anatomy of the right mandibular canine (bifurcation).
