C Shaped Root Canals in Mandibular Second Molars in UAE Nationals
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim & objective of this study is to investigate the frequency and type of C-shaped root canals in mandibular second molars of the UAE population. The teeth with C-shaped canals were classified using Melton’s classification. Method: Ninety-six mandibular second molars of patients aged between 20-45years old, scheduled for endodontic treatment, were examined over a 2-year period in the Endodontic Department, Tawam Hospital, Dental Center, UAE. C-shaped canals were detected and counted. Two detection procedures, radiography and clinical examination, were used. Results: Thirty three exhibited C-shaped canals (34.37%). Eleven molars presented a continuous C-shaped canal (11.4%), category I. Seven (7.2%) had a semicolon shape with a mesial canal located on the buccal or lingual side depending on where the fusion occurred, category II.

A total of 139 extracted mandibular second molars were injected with India ink and demineralized. They were made clear and transparent with methyl salicylate, and the anatomy of their canals was studied. It was found that 86.3% of mandibular second molars had two roots, 9.3% had one root, and 4.3% had three roots. Ninety percent of the mesial roots of the mandibular second molars with two roots...
متن کاملIncidence, location, and type of isthmus in mandibular second molars among individuals of an Iranian population
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Isthmuses are narrow and strip shaped connections between two canals containing pulpal tissue that may encompass bacteria as well. They are hardly accessible for cleaning; therefore, success and failure of root canal treatments could be affected by their presence. The present study was carried out aiming to evaluate the incidence, location, and type of isthmus in mandibular ...
