Aims The primary goals of endodontic treatment are to debride and disinfect the root canal space to the greatest possible extent, and to seal the canals as effectively as possible, aiming to establish or maintain healthy periapical tissues. Although initial root canal therapy has been shown to be a predictable procedure with a high degree of success, failure can occur after treatment. Lack of h...

The C-shaped root canal constitutes an unusual root morphology that can be found primarily in mandibular second permanent molars. Due to the complexity of their structure, C-shaped root canal systems may complicate endodontic interventions. A thorough understanding of root canal morphology is therefore imperative for proper diagnosis and successful treatment. This review aims to summarize curre...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to obtain a three-dimensional analysis of the isthmus area of the mesiobuccal root canal system in mandibular molars using high-resolution micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) scanning and to measure the amount of debris and root filling material in the isthmus after instrumentation/irrigation and root filling. METHODS Mandibular molars with two separated me...

statement of the problem using cbct to determine root morphology minimizes rate of treatment failure and adverse effects, such as gouging and perforations. purpose the aim of this study was to assess morphology of root canals using cbct scans. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, conducted in the radiology department of hamadan dental school in 2011‒2012, 66 cbct scans were stud...
