Understanding the diversity of root canal systems and their anatomical/morphological variations helps in achieving improved outcomes of root canal treatment. The outcome of endodontic treatment depends on a thorough knowledge of dental anatomy and its variations. Maxillary central incisor with two roots is a rare entity, so a complete clinical and radiological examination is important before initiating the treatment. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) radiography has improved the diagnosis and treatment planning in endodontics. So, the current report describes the endodontic and periodontal surgical management of traumatized discolored maxillary central incisors with two separated roots and root canals identified by two-dimensional (2D) and 3D radiographic examination.
