“…Thus, identifying the root canal anatomy of different ethnic populations is essential for successful endodontic treatment. 1,2 Many studies have examined root and canal morphologies using various methods such as sectioning, 3 canal staining, and tooth clearing techniques, 4 modified canal staining and clearing, 1 conventional radiography techniques, 5 contrast medium-enhanced radiography, 6 and computed tomography (CT) scanning. 7 Radiography provides information regarding tooth morphology such as pulp chamber size and degree of calcification, root structure, root curvature, location and number of canals, fractures, and iatrogenic defects.…”

“…The presence of four root canal systems in maxillary molars has been well-documented, usually with two canals in the mesiobuccal root [2,18], but the presence of five root canal systems is quite rare [8]. A review of published case reports shows that the majority of palatal roots contain a single root canal system, but 1.2-3.4% of maxillary molars contain two palatal root canal systems [7,8].…”

“…Failure to identify and treat all root canals lowers the long-term prognosis of the tooth and is a major reason for endodontic failure [2]. Variations in canal configurations make root canal systems a challenge to locate and negotiate.…”

“…In earlier studies, the pulp cavity was analyzed using intra-oral radiographs with files inserted into the cavity [120][121][122][123] as well as the cross sections of extracted teeth [124]. While these studies evaluated the two-dimensional (2D) structure of the pulp cavity, other studies evaluated the 3D configuration of the same using extracted tooth samples injected with Indian ink and made transparent using methyl salicylate [125][126][127].…”
