Introduction: Considering the importance of avoiding the outcomes of injury to the inferior alveolar nerve and its accessory branches, the present study was conducted with the purpose of determining the frequency of bifid mandibular canals using cone beam computed tomography images in an Iranian population. Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 221 CBCT images were evaluated ...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal morphology of mandibular first molars in a Chinese population by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: In this study, CBCT images of 900 mandibular first molars were evaluated for the following details: (1) number of roots, (2) number of apical foramina, (3) frequency distribution of root canal configurations define...

Familiarity with the normal and abnormal anatomy of the root canal system is essential for successful root canal treatment. The possibility of concomitant three-rooted and three- canalled maxillary and mandibular premolars are extremely rare. The purpose of this paper was to report a case with a three-rooted maxillary first premolar and two three-rooted mandibular premolars.

This case report describes the root canal treatment of 3 mandibular incisors, each with 2 separate canals and foramina, in 1 patient. The case demonstrates an unusual morphological configuration of the root canal system and supplements previous reports of the existence of such configurations in mandibular incisors.

This case report presents endodontic management of a mandibular lateral incisor with three canals using surgical dental operating microscope. This study describes the root canal variation of mandibular lateral incisor and highlights the importance of surgical operating microscope in detecting an unusual canal morphology.

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 relati...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of CBCT in volume measuring using Stafne Bone Cavities (SBC) as an example. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted with 14 subjects with SBC detected on panoramic radiographs. In order to evaluate lesions volumetric dimensions, CBCT images for each patient were captured. Files in Digital Imaging and Communications in Me...

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...

Quando o canal mandibular apresenta segundo ramo, é chamado de bifurcado. Embora a bifurcação do seja considerada uma rara variação, deve ser cuidadosamente avaliada. Usualmente, surge nas ortopantomografias como um túnel encerrado no osso, delimitado por bordos radiopacos, que se estende desde forame até ao mentoniano, localizando-se normalmente diretamente baixo dos ápices radiculares dentes ...

The location and course of the mandibular canal and multiple mental foramina are important in dental implant insertion and any surgical procedures involving the mandible. The purpose of the present investigation was to assess buccal foramen presence in the mandible using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. A total of 84 patients were enrolled in this investigation. Buccal foramen prese...
