OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to assess the root and root canal morphology of maxillary and mandibular premolars in a Turkish population by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, CBCT images of 2134 premolars (987 maxillary, 1147 mandibular) were obtained from 404 patients. Details of gender, age, number of roots and canals, and canal conf...

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 most difficult maxillary teeth for endodontic treatment are the maxillary first molars (mfm) due to their complex root canal anatomy. the presence of two roots and c-shaped canals in mfms has been reported in rare cases. the present case reports root canal treatment of mfm with two roots, where the palatal and buccal roots were joined together in a c-shaped configuration .

The C shaped canal configuration is an anatomic variant most commonly seen in mandibular second molars. The presence of this configuration in a single rooted maxillary permanent first molar is rare. This case report describes the endodontic management of a single rooted infected maxillary first molar having a c shaped root canal configuration. Endodontic Treatment of Single Rooted Maxillary Fir...

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...

introduction: it is essential for clinicians to have knowledge about root canal configuration, although its morphology varies largely in different ethnicities and even in different individuals within the same ethnic group. the current study reviewed the root canal configuration of root canals in mandibular first and second premolars among iranian population based on independent epidemiological ...

abstract introduction: the human teeth have many anatomical variations and treatment of each tooth is under the influence of its configuration. therefore, recognizing canal configuration is necessary for a correct endo-dontic therapy, and lack of information about canal configuration causes failure in therapy. since one of the most effective factors on canal configuration is race, we planed to ...

adequate cleaning, shaping and filling of the root canal system are mandatory for successful root canal treatment. thorough knowledge of root canal morphology and unusual anatomy of the tooth is critical for the practitioner. the occurrence and location of the third mesial canal (middle mesial canal) in mandibular first and second molars in relation to other two mesial canals that were treated ...
