Abstract

Introduction: Permanent maxillary canines can have variable length even exceeding 31 mm. The present case report is about the root canal treatment of a permanent maxillary canine with an unusual length of 36 mm
Case Report: A 37-year old male patient has come to Dental centre, Cannanore suffering from decay on tooth #13 with extra-oral swelling corresponding to right cheek. Root canal treatment was completed, and the tooth was noticed to have an atypical length of 36 mm. A 31 mm long Hand protaper file was used to do cleaning and shaping and Gates glidden drills of sizes 2 & 3 were used to enlarge the canal orifice to receive gutta percha during obturation.
