Abstract
The unique morphology of dilacerated and S-shaped root canals often poses utmost challenges in their endodontic management. Dilaceration is defined as developmental anomaly in which there has been an abrupt change in the axial inclination between the crown and the root of a tooth. Periapical radiographs and CBCT are the most appropriate way to diagnose the presence of root dilacerations. Also, clinician is required to have an insight of the morphology of tooth related to its shape, form and structure before commencing treatment. This article is an attempt to review root dilaceration as well as two interesting case reports of root dilacerations.
