“…Analysis of tooth morphology in the Saudi population revealed that all examined central and lateral incisors had a single root, consistent with prior studies in various populations [ 5 , 6 , 11 , 12 , 19 , 20 ]. Vertucci's seminal work on 300 mandibular incisors, utilizing a clearing technique with dye injection, reported a prevalence of two canals in 30% and 25% of mandibular central and lateral incisors, respectively [ 3 ].…”

“…The prevalence of two canals was observed in 21.7% of the sample, with a slightly higher tendency in lateral incisors compared to central incisors. When compared to global numbers, although numerous studies revealed comparable figures [ 5 , 6 , 12 , 19 - 21 ], other geographical areas reported a higher incidence of second canals [ 5 , 15 , 22 ]. For example, a study on a Turkish population revealed that over 50% of 795 mandibular incisors had two canals, predominantly on the right side [ 15 ].…”

This study aimed to explore the morphology and complexity of mandibular anterior teeth in a Western Saudi Arabian sub-population using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MethodologyCBCT scans from 818 patients were evaluated, and 3193 mandibular anterior teeth were analyzed for the number of roots, canal, canal configurations, separation level, bilateral symmetry, and gender associations. ResultsThe results showed that all examined central and lateral incisors had a single root, and the majority exhibited a single canal. The prevalence of two canals in mandibular central and lateral incisors was 20.1% and 23.2%, respectively, resulting in an overall prevalence of 21.7% for two root canals in mandibular anterior teeth. The separation level of the two canals was predominantly located in the middle third of the root. Type I canal configuration was the most common, followed by type III. A high degree of bilateral symmetry in the number of canals and canal configurations was noted. ConclusionThe findings contribute to the understanding of root canal anatomy in the Saudi population and provide valuable information for endodontic treatment planning.

Introduction:The purpose of this study was to perform a quality assessment and provide a scientific-based checklist for prevalence studies on root and root canal anatomy by appraising the methodological quality of in vivo studies using cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging as the assessment tool. Methods: A systematic assessment of the literature was conducted, and 211 studies were selected and submitted to a methodological evaluation. Data were grouped into categories such as journal impact factor, open access availability, language, study origin, journal publisher, sample size, and CBCT settings. Interrater agreement was calculated by applying the Holsti method and Cohen kappa. The Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson correlation coefficient were undertaken to assess the different variables (a 5 0.05). Results: The included studies (N 5 211) reported data on 247,616 teeth from 41 countries. The maxillary first molar was the most studied tooth (n 5 69) and the second mesiobuccal canal the most investigated anatomic feature. The highest scores were associated with high-impact journals (r 5 0.482, P , .05), large sample sizes (r 5 0.374, P , .05), non-open access availability (P , .05), and English-based language (P , .05), but geographic region and journal publisher also had an impact on quality scores. The identified methodological gaps were used to formulate a scientific-based checklist for this type of study. Conclusions: Although a small improvement in the global quality of the studies was observed over the years, only less than half of the studies correctly addressed the participant recruitment and frame and had an adequate sample size or provided sufficient CBCT imaging settings. The proposed checklist highlights the most pertinent points to guide researchers throughout the experimental design and the implementation of epidemiological crosssectional studies of this nature.
