Forty two single-rooted teeth, prepared with the Mtwo system, were divided into three groups based on the filling method: control, "Single-cone" (n = 20) (Mtwo gutta-percha single-cone tapered according to the diameter, length and conicity of the preparation) and "Combined system" (n = 20) (BeeFill 2in1). The parameters studied were apical leakage, gutta-percha adjustment, number of voids, pres...

Variability in short root morphology of the three main tree species of Europe's boreal forest (Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth)) was investigated in four stands along a latitudinal gradient from northern Finland to southern Estonia. Silver birch and Scots pine were present in three stands and Norway spruce was present...

introduction : to achieve success in treatment, one cannot ignore the knowledge of pulp anatomy. mandibular premolars are considered to be the most difficult teeth for endodontic therapy due to high variability in their canal morphology. it is possible that a relation exists between the crown size and the number of extra canals in these teeth, so this in vitro study aims to investigate the rela...

Root canal systems often have complex anatomy and pose various challenges to every clinician. Research into the morphology of the pulp has revealed that the dental pulp takes many intricate shapes and configurations before reaching the tooth apex like gradual curve, sickle-shaped curve, severe-moderate-straight curve, apical curve, bayonet / S-shaped curve and dilacerated curve, canals emerging...

Usually, the mandibular canine only has one root and one root canal. However, there has been a noticeable increment in evidence showing variations in its morphology, such as the presence of two roots and two root canals. The aim of this article was to present a case of a mandibular canine with two roots and two root canals and to review the available literature on this anatomic variation. Root ...

background: knowledge about root canal morphology and its frequent variations can exert considerable influence on the success of endodontic treatment. the aim of this study was to survey the root canal morphology of mandibular first premolar teeth in a gujarati population by decalcification and clearing technique.     methods: one hundred thirty eight extracted mandibular first premolar teeth w...

The purpose of this study was to undertake a comprehensive literature review of the root and root canal morphology of the mandibular first premolar. Published studies citing the anatomy and morphology of mandibular premolars report data for over 6,700 teeth. These studies were divided into anatomical studies reporting number of roots, number of canals, and apical morphology. Variations because ...

familiarity with the intricacies and variations of root canal morphology is essential for successful endodontic treatment. maxillary central and lateral incisors are known to be single-rooted with one canal, however, this case report describes endodontic treatment of maxillary central and lateral incisors with two buccopalatal root canals.

An accurate diagnosis of the morphology of the root canal system is a pre-requisite for successful root canal treatment. Frequently, root canals are left untreated because the clinicians fail to identify their presence, particularly in teeth that have anatomical variations or additional root canals. In this report a maxillary lateral incisor with two roots has been described.
