introduction: the aim of this study was to compare a clearing technique with conventional radiography in studying certain features of the root canal system in single root premolars. a secondary aim was to assess inter examiner agreement for these features using radiographs. materials and methods: fifty-eight recently extracted single rooted premolars were included in this study. two standard pe...

introdouction: variations in root canal morphology pose a challenge for successful endodontic treatment. the root canal anatomy of the maxillary first molar has been often described as three roots with four canals (two mesiobuccal, one distobuccal, and one palatal). the occurrence of two palatal canals in one palatal root is quite rare. this report represents the case of a maxillary first molar...

a detailed knowledge of root canal anatomy is a prerequisite for successful endodontic treatment. such information is highly dependent upon the ethnicity of the population of interest. lack of sufficient national information concerning internal anatomy can lead clinicians to increase their rate of treatment success. the aim of this study was to evaluate external root morphology and root canal a...

this article describes a clinical case of mandibular second premolar with three separated canals in apical third of the root that are diagnosed and endodontically treated. sound knowledge of root canal anatomy and morphology, tactile examination of canal walls, critical interpretation of radiographs and high magnification examination are essential elements of success in complicated root canal t...

background and aims. a through knowledge of the root canal morphology is required for successful endodontic therapy. the aim of this study was to investigate the root and canal morphology of mandibular third molars in kerman, a province in southeast of iran. materials and methods. one-hundred-fifty extracted mandibular third molars were collected randomly from different dental clinics in kerman...

Meticulous cleaning, shaping and filling of the root canal system are requisites for a successful root canal treatment.. Unfortunately, canal preparation is adversely influenced by the highly complex, intricate and variable root-canal anatomy. Thorough knowledge of root canal morphology and unusual anatomy of the tooth is crucial for the practitioner. Over the years, there have been numerous st...

root canal anatomy diversity and aberrations are common especially in permanent dentition. a thorough understanding of the basic root canal anatomy and its diversities are necessary for successful endodontic treatment. mandibular second premolars are usually single-rooted and have one root canal. incidence of three separate root canals in this tooth is quite rare and taurodontism with three sep...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars (mfm) in a selected iranian population using clearing technique. methods and materials: a total of 150 extracted mfms were cleared. the root canal morphology (including the root numbers and root length) and the anatomy of the root canal system (including is the number and type of canals based on ve...
