“…In our study type I Vertucci classification (single canal) was found in 95% and 76% of central incisors in females and males respectively and in 91% and 88% of lateral incisors in females and males respectively with slightly higher percentage in female than male samples. In agreement, studies on Turkish , Iranian and North-East Indian populations a have pointed out that single canal is the most common type of canal classification 19,20,22 On the other hand, Prita et al et al 7 conducted a study on Indian population on 200 central and lateral incisors and they found that 57% of mandibular central incisors and 54% of mandibular lateral incisors presented with a single canal. That means almost half (43% central and 46% lateral) of the specimens collected from an Indian population showed a second canal.…”

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) affords high-quality image with a relatively low radiation doses and low costs. It is considered as a valuable tool in endodontic field as it determines root morphology, number of roots, canals and accessory canals. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the permanent mandibular anterior teeth canal morphology in Egyptian subpopulation. Materials and Methods:A total of 100 patients were enrolled in this study and were assigned in two groups (50 females and 50 males). In each group centrals, laterals and canines of both sides were examined (100 centrals, 100 laterals and 100 canines). CBCT Images were obtained using J Morita CBCT unit and canals were categorized into the five types of Vertucci's classification. The observer evaluated the images twice with one-week interval between assessments.Results: Type I Vertucci configuration was the most prevalent configuration in our sample and the incidence of this type was slightly higher in female than male samples. Furthermore, type III and V Vertucci configuration were slightly more in males than females. Conclusion:In the present study it was concluded that the root and root canal morphology of Egyptian subpopulation was, in general, comparable to that of other populations and that the incidence of canal variations might occur as a result of ethnicity more than gender.

“…In the study conducted by Gediz Geduk, Yeşim Deniz, Ayşe Zeynep Zengin, Erol Eroglu [ 8 ] according to gender, the incidence of the second canal in permanent mandibular incisors was relatively high in females, in contrast to the Liu et al [ 9 ] study, which reported that a slightly higher occurrence of the second canal was found in males than in females.…”

SummaryBackgroundThe aim of the study was to identify the number of root canals and examine root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisors in an Indian sub-population of Pune, Maharashtra, India using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Material/MethodsThis study was conducted at Elite CBCT & Dental Diagnostics, Pune. One hundred mandibular incisors were evaluated for the number of root, root canals and root morphology.ResultsIn the present study, amongst 102 mandibular incisors, all had one root, 36% of them had a second canal, and Vertucci Type I was the most common type.ConclusionsCBCT imaging is an excellent method for detection of different canal configurations of mandibular incisors.

“…Of these, 2219 were removed because of their being duplicates or not related to the study. Of the remaining 71 studies, 52 were removed due to lack of relevance, not using CBCT as their diagnostic methodology, or being in vitro trials, case studies or systematic reviews, leaving a total of 19 studies [8,14,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] (Figure 3.

“…When there were two canals, the most frequent classification was type III, with the exception of four studies [8,22,23,35]. There was no heterogeneity as to the frequency of the rest of configurations, with studies where the next most frequent configurations were type II [14,23,26,27,30,33,34], type V [8,[19][20][21]24,25,28,29,32], or type IV [31]. The remaining types [VI, VII and others] were generally present in very low or non-existent percentages.…”

Root Canal Morphology of the Permanent Mandibular Incisors by Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Knowledge of dental anatomy through the assessment of the anatomic variations of each tooth’s root canal system is essential to undertake endodontic therapy. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the different studies on the internal morphology of permanent mandibular incisors where Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) X-ray imaging is used. Pubmed, CENTRAL, Wiley Library and Web of Science electronic databases were searched for scientific studies included until March 2020. The terms used in the search were: “permanent mandibular incisors”, “root canal morphology” and “cone-beam computed tomography”. The search was limited to studies whose aim was the analysis of the morphology of the root canal system evaluating the parameters of methodology, population, sample, number and configuration. A total of 19 studies met the inclusion criteria. There was a noticeable lack of unanimity in the setting adjustments of each of the CBCT devices used. The presence of two root canals varied from 0.4% to 45%. The most frequent configurations were Vertucci’s Types I, III, II, V, IV, VII and VI. Type VIII configuration was non-existent. CBCT revealed the existence of anatomical symmetry patterns, and there was no unanimity of criteria regarding the presence of a second root canal. Results concerning the presence of a second root canal in the mandibular incisors differ widely, with a possible influence of the geographic area where the study was conducted. The prevalence of a second canal is higher in mandibular lateral incisors than in mandibular central incisors. There was no direct relationship between voxel size (0.125–0.3 mm) and increased prevalence of a second canal.
