    Objective: The objective of this study was to identify anatomical variations in the bifid inferior dental canal as evaluated in Cone Beam CT scans in Lima - Year 2022. Methodology: The type of research employed was basic, with a non-experimental, retrospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive design. It had a quantitative approach, and the instrument used for data collection was a data matrix created by the author. The study population consisted of 119 Cone Beam CT scans taken from patients aged 18 to 50 years between 2018 and 2020, with the sample composed of 91 CT scans, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Since the research is descriptive, it does not present a hypothesis. Results: According to Naitoh’s classification, Type I or retromolar canal prevailed at 7.7% (N=7), followed by Type III or anterior confluence canal at 5.5% (N=5). Regarding sex, bifid dental canals were more frequent in male patients at 7.7%, and in terms of localization, the right side prevailed at 8.8%. Finally, according to age, the highest prevalence was found in patients aged 40 and older at 5.5%. Conclusion: The prevalence of bifid dental canals was 13.2%.
