Aim: The aim of this study was to survey the root canal morphology of mandibular incisor teeth in a Palestinian population using radiographic approach. Materials and Methods: Five hundred and twenty two extracted mandibular incisor teeth were randomly collected from Palestinian population. The teeth were radiographed from a mesiodistal direction and examined for the presence of a second canal a...

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...

BACKGROUND The main reason for the failure of endodontic therapy is the incomplete knowledge about the anatomical variation of root canals. One of the most important factors that leads to the failure of root canal treatment, is missed and untreated major root canals. OBJECTIVE with respect to the complexity of mandibular incisors treatment and high prevalence of the second canal, and the poss...

Objectives Adequate knowledge about canal anatomy is necessary for clinicians to prevent any damage to the periodontium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the canal and apical complexities of the mandibular first and second premolars in an Iranian population. Methods One-hundred mandibular first (n=50) and second (n=50) premolars were collected. After access cavity preparation, 2% methylen...

to evaluate differences in the root and canal configurations of mandibular permanent anterior incisors and canines in an iranian population by means of cone beam ct (cbct) images.four hundred cbct images of mandibular permanent incisors and canines that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. vertucci's classification was used to evaluate the number of roots, number of root canals, root leng...

the aim of this study was to report the endodontic management of right maxillary central incisor having two canals with vertucci canal configuration type iv . internal morphology of root canals is variable and often complex. therefore, to achieve a technically satisfactory endodontic outcome, the clinician must have adequate knowledge of the internal canal morphology and its variations in order...

OBJECTIVES Precise radiographic assessment of the nasopalatine canal is required to prevent implant failure. The purpose of the current study was to determine the three dimensional (3D) morphology, as well as the dimensions of the nasopalatine canal using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this descriptive cross-sectional study, maxillary CBCT images from 300 patie...

Cross-sectional spinal canal area was measured before and after surgery in 12 patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures and canal narrowing caused by retropulsed fragments. Patients were classified into Denis type A or type B. Denis type A fractures have comminution of both end-plates of the vertebral body creating multiple smaller fractures; Denis type B fractures have comminution of the sup...
