OBJECTIVE Successful endodontic therapy depends on adequate mechanical and chemical debridement of the canal which requires knowledge of the canal morphology. Conventional radiography has been used to evaluate the canal type; however, direct digital radiography has recently been practiced for this purpose due to the shortcomings of conventional radiography. The aim of the present study was to c...

background and aims . a perfect endodontic treatment necessitates proper understanding of the morphology of canal and pulpal variations. this in vitro study was conducted to demonstrate the internal anatomy of mandibular canine teeth in an iranian population. materials and methods . the samples consisted of 100 extracted mandibular permanent canines. the roots of the teeth were molded in acryli...

Aim This study aims to investigate the root canal anatomy of human extracted permanent maxillary anterior teeth in patients reporting to our dental institution in Chennai using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods A total of 285 maxillary anterior teeth comprising of 100 central incisors, 85 lateral incisors, and 100 canines extracted from various patients reporting to ...

OBJECTIVES It is essential for clinicians to have adequate knowledge about root canal configurations; although its morphology varies largely in different ethnicities and even in different individuals with the same ethnic background. The current study aims to review the root canal configurations of mesiobuccal roots of maxillary first molars in an Iranian population based on different epidemiolo...

Background Successful dental root canal treatments require a complete knowledge of dental anatomy and root canal morphology. Materials and Methods One hundred and forty-five cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were used to assess the anatomy and morphology of mandibular premolars based on Vertucci's classifications in a defined group of dental patients in Iran. The number of roots and...

background: knowledge about root canal morphology and its frequent variations can exert considerable influence on the success of endodontic treatment. the aim of this study was to survey the root canal morphology of mandibular first premolar teeth in a gujarati population by decalcification and clearing technique.     methods: one hundred thirty eight extracted mandibular first premolar teeth w...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the number of distal roots and canals in mandibular first molars and their internal anatomy radiographically within iranian population. materials and methods: a total of 310 distal roots of mandibular first molars were incorporated in this study and evaluated in terms of number of roots and number and types of canals. root canal systems we...

introduction: the aim of this study was to identify the root and canal morphology of maxillary first and second molars in iranian population by taking and analyzing cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) scans. methods and materials: extracted maxillary first ( n =125) and second ( n =125) molars were collected from native iranians and scanned by using a cbct scanner. the number of roots and conf...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisor teeth in the Indian subpopulation with the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL/METHODS CBCT images of 200 patients with 800 permanent mandibular incisors, fulfilling necessary inclusion criteria and aged 18 to 60 years were evaluated. The number of roots, number of root...
