Abstract: 

Typically, the maxillary canine possesses a single root and a single root canal. However, anatomical variations have been documented in several in vitro and in vivo studies. The presence of two roots and two canals in maxillary canines is rare, and the occurrence of three canals within one root is even more exceptional. Dentists must have comprehensive knowledge of root canal morphology and its potential variations to ensure successful treatment outcomes. This report presents a rare case of a maxillary canine with one root and three canals. Accurate diagnosis of such uncommon anatomical variations is crucial for the success of endodontic therapy.
