Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the root canal morphology of mandibular canines in a Kashmiri subpopulation. Materials and method: For the morphological assessment of mandibular canines, 154 extracted mandibular canines were taken from patients for different reasons were used the number of roots and canal configuration was identified based on Vertucci’s classification. Results: Most patients had one root, 99.8%, while double‑rooted mandibular canines were observed in 0.2%. Moreover, Type I, II, III, and IV canal configurations were observed in mandibular canines with Type I being the most prevalent canal configuration (95.4%). Conclusion: Single rooted with Type I canal configuration was the most prevalent in mandibular canines in the kashmiri subpopulation. However, incidence of more than one root canal with different canal configurations was also detected.
