Variations in root canal morphology presents a constant challenge for clinicians in their detection and management. Locating and treating these extra canals is important in order to achieve favorable prognosis in endodontic therapy. This review article presents the anatomical variations, frequency of occurrence of aberrant root canal configuration and methods of identification using advanced imaging techniques like CBCT, DOM and loupes.
