“…The same evidence is available for Vertucci type II results because Chinese studies show a prevalence of 1.7% (51) and 5.6% (50), whereas in predominantly white countries the prevalence of these morphologies was 5.0% in Belgium (6), 27.4% in Italy (45), 38.6% in Brazil (52), and 51.3% in Spain (11). The findings mentioned for the mesial root of mandibular first molars can be extended to second molars and are in agreement with the current literature (9,11,45,52).…”

“…The results of our research were similar: men had second canals more frequently than women, but these results were significant only in lateral incisors. Collectively, we found that observations in different groups of teeth have yielded different results [7,21,24,34,35].…”

A study of the symmetry of roots and root canal morphology in mandibular anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomographic imaging in a Polish population A study of the symmetry of roots and root canal morphology in mandibular anterior teeth using CBCT imaging in a Polish population Abstract Background: The purpose of the study was to analyze mandibular anterior teeth in a Polish population and determine the symmetry of root and root canal morphology between the right and left side using cone-beam computed tomography scanning. Materials and methods: From 111 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations, 303pairs of equivalent mandibular anterior teeth were analyzed on the right and left sides to evaluate symmetry. Axial, sagittal, and cross-sectional slices with a thickness of 0.2-0.25 mm were used.The number of root canals and their internal patterns were classified following Vertucci's criteria.Results: All incisors in this study had 1 root. Canines usually had a single root and much less often had 2 roots. Type I and III root canal configurations were found most often, while type V and II configurations were less frequent. Significant compatibility between the left and right side was observed in all evaluated variables. Incisors had the highest symmetry with regard to the number of roots (100%). Second canals were observed more often in males than females, but only the results in lateral incisors were significant. Conclusions:This study provides supplemental information for dentists and should help them to better predict the morphology of mandibular anterior teeth in complicated cases in the Polish population. Symmetry was observed in roots and root canal morphology in all examined parameters.

Internal and external morphology of mandibular molars: An original micro‐CT study and meta‐analysis with review of implications for endodontic therapy

The aim of this radiological micro-CT study and meta-analysis was to determine the morphological features of the root canal anatomy of the mandibular molars. The radiological study included micro-CT scans of 108 mandibular first, 120 mandibular second, and 146 mandibular third molars. For our meta-analysis, an extensive search was conducted through PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify articles eligible for inclusion. Data extracted included investigative method (cadaveric, intraoperative, or imaging), Vertucci type of canal configuration, presence/number of canals, roots, apical foramina, apical deltas, and intercanal communications. In the mesial roots of mandibular molars, the most frequent Vertucci type of canal configuration was type IV, except for the mandibular third molar where type I was most common. Type I was most common in the distal root. There were usually two canals in the mesial root and one in the distal root. Two was the most common number of roots, and a third root was most prevalent in Asia. One apical foramen was most common in the distal root and two apical foramina in the mesial root. Intercanal communications were most frequent in the mesial root. Knowledge of the complex anatomy of the mandibular molars can make root canal therapy more likely to succeed. We recommend the use of cone-beam computed tomography before and after endodontic treatment to enable the root anatomy to be accurately described and properly diagnosed, and treatment outcome to be assessed.
