Abstract:
One of the main reasons that cause the failure of endodontic treatment is the lack of knowledge of complex anatomy of the tooth cavity. Numerous studies over the years have established a complex structure of the tooth root system, a particular configuration of which determines the uniqueness of each tooth.Numerous researches have laid the foundation for anatomical and morphological peculiarities of root system of the tooth, their classification and nomenclature indices. The anatomical picture of the tooth, its shape, root length - the "norms" have been established in the course of years. Statistical indices do not represent universal criteria due to the fact that anthropometric data are subjected to variations in accordance with national and geographic zones. The aim of our study is to establish anatomo-morphological peculiarities of the groups of teeth, roots and canals in Georgian population and to develop statistically reliable indicators on the basis of anthropological and clinical data. The obtained data will help to improve the effective endodontic treatment and avoid complications after obturation.
