“…In this study, we found that the type I have a higher percentage both in right and left mandibular second molars. Other than that, we found types 3-2 (2.5%) for mesial roots on right mandibular first molars, which was also found in studies by Peiriz et al and Mukhaimer et al Gulabivala et al [10] Sert et al [11] Ahmed et al [12] Rwenyonyi et al [13] Peiris [14] Subha et al [15] Caucasian …”

Abstract-The knowledge of the pulp anatomy plays an important role in the success of endodontic treatments. Mandibular molars have been reported with complex configuration canal anatomical, making them one of the most difficult teeth to manage endodontically. The aim of this study was to examine the root canal morphology of mandibular molars using tube shift technique. This study was descriptive with cross sectional approach. A total of 40 patients of each 40 left and right on first and second molars were samples for this study. We used x-rays with tube shift technique to analyzed canal configuration. The number of canal configuration in each root based on Vertucci's classification was observed. Results showed root canal configuration of permanent first molars on mesial root right region, type I (12.5%), II (22.5%), III (5%), IV (57.5%), another type 3-2 (2.5%), and left region type I (5%), II (37.5%), IV (52.5%), V (2.5%), another type 3-2 (2.5%), and on distal root right region, type I (87.5%), III (5%), IV (2.5%), V (5%) and left region type I (90%), II (5%), III (2.5%), V (2.5%). Molars root canal configuration of permanent second molars on mesial root right region, type I (52.5%), II (35%), IV (12.5%), and left region type I (57.5%), II (22.5%), III (2.5%), IV (12.5%), V (5%), and on distal root right region type I (92.5%), II (5%), V (2.5%) and left region type I (87.5%), II (5%), IV (2.5%), V (5%). Mandibular permanent first and second molars based on Vertucci classification, both mesial and distal roots have found type I, II, III, IV, V, but on mesial roots permanent mandibular first molars have found another types 3-2.

“…, Vertucci , Velmurugan et al . , Peiris ). Clearly, in terms of clinical management of teeth undergoing root canal treatment, it is critical to define the number of roots, and not just canals, as this will have implications in terms of access cavity preparation, mechanical instrumentation and root canal filling procedures (Ahmed & Cheung ).…”

Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Endodontic Journal, 50, 761-770, 2017. Knowledge of root and root canal morphology is a prerequisite for effective nonsurgical and surgical endodontic treatments. The external and internal morphological features of roots are variable and complex, and several classifications have been proposed to define the various types of canal configurations that occur commonly. More recently, improvements in nondestructive digital image systems, such as conebeam and micro-computed tomography, as well as the use of magnification in clinical practice, have increased the number of reports on complex root canal anatomy. Importantly, using these newer techniques, it has become apparent that it is not possible to classify many root canal configurations using the existing systems. The purpose of this article is to introduce a new classification system that can be adapted to categorize root and root canal configurations in an accurate, simple and reliable manner that can be used in research, clinical practice and training.

BackgroundProviding comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of human teeth is one of the basic functions of dental education, because a thorough understanding of their internal structure is one of the prerequisites for any successful clinical intervention. Several techniques have traditionally been employed to study and visualize the complex internal organization of human teeth. In contrast to these invasive techniques, modern imaging systems permit non-invasive analyses of the three-dimensional structure of human teeth. Owing to the relative ease of acquisition, handling, and distribution of the respective data, digital imaging techniques will also significantly influence dental education. HighlightIn this article, a broad overview of traditional and modern techniques for the visualization of internal tooth structures is provided. Emphasis is placed on micro-computed tomography systems and their application in endodontics. In addition, 3 the results derived from a comparison of histology and micro-computed tomography are presented. Apart from its utility in basic research, digital data can also be employed to create interactive three-dimensional models that are particularly suitable for teaching purposes. ConclusionNon-invasive, three-dimensional imaging techniques, in particular the various modalities of computed tomography, have ushered in a new era of endodontic studies.Owing to their digital nature, the results derived from these techniques can not only be easily analyzed and distributed but also be rapidly integrated into the teaching materials. Recent studies as well as the data shown in the present contribution suggest that digital educational materials lead to an improved understanding of the complex anatomy of human teeth.
