An in vitro study was performed to determine the number and the type of root canals of mandibular incisor teeth in an Iranian population.&#13;
&#13;
Methods and Materials&#13;
Sixty eight mandibular incisor teeth were immersed in India ink decalcified and cleared.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
It was found that 55.9% of the teeth had two canals that in 51.5% of them the canals merged into one canal before exiting the tooth through one apical foramen.&#13;
&#13;
Discussion&#13;
Because of high percentage of two canals in lower mandibular incisors, there should be more attempt to detect the second canal during access preparation.&#13;
