“…In a more recent critical evaluation of the classification systems, Ahmed et al reported that Ahmed and Vertucci classifications were identical for single-rooted teeth but differed in teeth with more than 1 root [ 16 ]. This problem was previously highlighted by Mirza et al in their study on maxillary molars and canines in the same population [ 5 , 18 ].…”

“…Different methods have been used to study the internal and external anatomies of the teeth, including in-vitro procedures like sectioning, staining, tooth clearing, micro-computed tomography, and in vivo procedures like radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) [ 5 ]. However, the advent of CBCT has enhanced the diagnostic ability by providing a detailed 3D view of the internal structures, coupled with other advantages like non-invasiveness and ability to view the teeth and surrounding anatomy coronally, sagitally, and axially [ 6 ].…”

“…Most published research on root canal morphologies in Saudi Arabia compared and classified the teeth according to the Vertucci classification and only a few used the Ahmed et al classification [ 5 , 18 – 21 ]. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and classify the canal morphologies of maxillary premolars (MP), compare the Vertucci and Ahmed classification systems, and check for symmetry among them in relation to opposing quadrants.…”

Background Understanding the root canal morphology is important for successful endodontic treatment. This retrospective cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) study aimed to compare the adult maxillary premolars (MP), root, and canal morphology among a Saudi Arabian subpopulation based on Vertucci and Ahmed classifications. Material/Methods Scans of 1336 MP – 656 first premolars (MFP) and 680 second premolars (MSP) – were analyzed for the number of roots, morphology of the canals, and symmetry among them. The data were grouped based on the traditional preestablished Vertucci system and newer instantaneous code-based Ahmed classification. Comparative analysis was done using the chi-square test. Results Two roots were common in MFP with 84.4% of the population, followed by those with 1 root and those with 3 roots. In MSP, single roots were more common. The results were non-significant with P values of 0.859 and 0.471, respectively. Most of these MFP had Type IV Vertucci configuration/ 2 TNB 1 P 1 Ahmed et al code (TN-tooth number, B-buccal canal, P-palatal canal). In MSP, Type I Vertucci/ 1 TN 1 Ahmed et al code was most common. However, the results were not statistically significant for the PM with P values of 0.997 and 0.732, respectively. Sex-based difference among them for the roots and root canals was also non-significant. Symmetry among PM in opposite quadrants was 87.1% in MFP and 90% in MSP. Conclusions Two roots with Type IV ( 2 TNB 1 P 1 ) and 1 root with Type I ( 1 TN 1 ) were most common in MFP and MSP, respectively. Symmetry among opposing PM was high.

“…Canines are the longest teeth in the mouth and they are aesthetically important because of their position in the mouth and functionally essential due to their part in the development of occlusion [ 77 ]. It was found that maxillary canine had 100% single root while some variations were detected in the canals and their configuration like single canal was in the range of 98–99% among the studies conducted in the Jazan city and Al-Kharj along with Vertucci’s type I being the predominant (97-100%) followed by type III (1-2%) [ 76 , 77 , 84 , 85 ]. However, one study conducted in the Riyadh presented different results where, type I was 97.94% followed by type V (1.1%) and type II and III were 0.47% respectively [ 78 ].…”

Introduction Root canal treatment procedures require a thorough understanding of root and canal anatomy. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the morphological differences of teeth root and their canals assessed using cone-beam computed and micro-computed tomography in Saudi Arabian population. Methodology An electronic search was conducted in PubMed / Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases until January 2023 to retrieve related studies. “Root canal morphology,” “Saudi Arabia,” “Micro-CT,” and “cone-beam computed tomography” were used as keywords. A modified version of previously published risk of bias assessment tool was used to determine the quality assessment of included studies. Results The literature search revealed 47 studies that matched the criteria for inclusion, out of which 44 studies used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and three were micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) studies. According to the modified version of risk of bias assessment tool, the studies were categorized as low, moderate, and high risk of bias. A total of 47,612 samples were included which comprised of either maxillary teeth (5,412), or mandibular teeth (20,572), and mixed teeth (21,327). 265 samples were used in micro-CT studies while 47,347 teeth samples were used in CBCT studies. Among the CBCT studies, except for three, all the studies were retrospective studies. Frequently used imaging machine and software were 3D Accuitomo 170 and Morita’s i-Dixel 3D imaging software respectively. Minimum and maximum voxel sizes were 75 and 300 μm, Vertucci’s classification was mostly used to classify the root canal morphology of the teeth. The included micro-CT studies were in-vitro studies where SkyScan 1172 X-ray scanner was the imaging machine with pixel size ranging between 13.4 and 27.4 μm. Vertucci, Ahmed et al. and Pomeranz et al. classifications were applied to classify the root canal morphology. Conclusion This systematic review revealed wide variations in root and canal morphology of Saudi population using high resolution imaging techniques. Clinicians should be aware of the common and unusual root and canal anatomy before commencing root canal treatment. Future micro-CT studies are needed to provide additional qualitative and quantitative data presentations.
