A wide morphological divergence of the root canal system is known to exist. Varying number of the root canals in different teeth, their anatomy and interconnections have been studied and reported.This case report describes the successful endodontic treatment of mandibular incisors having two root canals in the same individual. Radiographic examination revealed multiple canals in all mandibular central and lateral incisors.Endodontic intervention resulted in successful treatment of this unusual canal morphology. Literature reveals multiple canals in the mandibular central and lateral incisors teeth individually, but the highlight of this case report is finding of two canals in all four mandibular central and lateral incisors in same individuals.
