Summary
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed that 36% of mandibular incisors in Pune, India, have two root canals. This imaging technique effectively identifies diverse canal configurations in these teeth.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Dental Anatomy
- Radiology
Background:
- Mandibular incisors exhibit variable root canal anatomy.
- Understanding this anatomy is crucial for successful endodontic treatment.
- Prevalence data in Indian populations require further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the number of root canals in permanent mandibular incisors.
- To analyze the root canal morphology of these teeth.
- To assess prevalence in an Indian sub-population using CBCT.
Main Methods:
- Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging was utilized.
- 102 permanent mandibular incisors from Pune, India, were evaluated.
- Root canal number and morphology were assessed based on established classifications.
Main Results:
- All evaluated incisors possessed a single root.
- 36% of the mandibular incisors exhibited two root canals.
- Vertucci Type I canal configuration was the most frequently observed.
Conclusions:
- CBCT imaging is highly effective for detecting root canal variations.
- Findings contribute to the understanding of mandibular incisor anatomy in this region.
- Accurate canal detection is vital for endodontic treatment planning.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
