Evaluating root canal configuration of mandibular incisors with cone-beam computed tomography in a Turkish population

Second root canal in mandibular incisors: An ex vivo cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) study

“…However, these small anatomic details have not been included in the results of the present study, as they could be examined more accurately with micro computed tomography (μCT) providing even higher resolution and image quality 15 . The majority of both central and lateral mandibular incisors with two root canals belonged to Type III, with no specimens belonging in Type IV, something also remarked by other studies 4,5,11,12,[15][16][17][18] . Mandibular incisors have been shown to have complex canal configurations transcending Vertucci's classification 2,3,6,11,[15][16][17]19 .…”

Root and root canal morphology of the permanent dentition in a Caucasian population: a cone‐beam computed tomography study

“…In the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary second molar, the single root canal appears to be the most common configuration (Zhang et Tian et al 2016 [China] and the present study [Portugal]) although one study report a higher prevalence of MB2 root canals in India (Felsypremila et al 2015). In the present study, the mandibular central and lateral incisors had a prevalence of Vertucci Type I configurations of 72.3% and 69.9%, respectively, which represents a higher ratio when compared with the results from Turkey (Arslan et al 2015), with 51.9% and 52.8%, respectively, or Brazil (Estrela et al 2015a) with 65% and 58%, respectively. The most common root canal configurations in the mesial root of mandibular first molars appear to be Vertucci Types II and IV (Zhang et al 2011a, Kim et al 2013 and the present study) or Type III (Torres et al 2015).…”

Evaluation of Root Canal Morphology of Mandibular Anterior Teeth Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography

“…(%67,75) nın yaptığı çalışmadan daha düşüktür. 6,11,23 Çalışmamızda çift kanal görülme sıklığı, son yıllarda farklı populasyonlarda yapılan çalışmalarda bulunan değerlerden anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulunmuştur. 2,4,8,16,17,24 Aynı toplumda bulunan farklı verilerin sebepleri, Arslan ve ark.nın belirttiği gibi yöresel farklılıklar, çalışmanın çekilmiş dişler ya da hasta ağzında yapılmış olması olabilmektedir.…”

“…[16][17][18] Ancak, toplumumuzda KIBT kullanarak alt anterior dişlerin kök kanal morfolojisini inceleyen az sayıda çalışmaya rastlanmıştır. 13,19,20 Bu çalışmada, alt anterior dişlerin kök kanal morfolojisinin KIBT görüntüleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Son yıllardaki teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak KIBT, diş hekimliğinde maksillofasiyal bölgenin üç boyutlu görüntülenmesinde, endodontide kök kanal morfolojilerinin incelenmesinde kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.…”
