Tooth Anatomy

1.1K
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...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

6.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental Anatomy
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Understanding root canal morphology is crucial for successful endodontic treatment.
  • Advanced imaging techniques like micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) offer detailed insights into complex root canal anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and analyze the literature on root canal morphology using micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT).
  • To identify common methodologies, equipment, and classification systems employed in Micro-CT studies of root canal anatomy.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases up to 2021.
  • Included studies were assessed for bias risk using DARE II extended.
  • Data from 18 eligible studies involving 6,696 teeth samples were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The review analyzed data from 6,696 teeth, including maxillary, mandibular, anterior, and third molar teeth.
  • Bruker Micro-CT machines and associated software were frequently utilized.
  • Vertucci's classification system was the most common method for categorizing root canal morphology.

Conclusions:

  • Micro-CT is a valuable tool for detailed root canal morphology analysis.
  • Standardization in Micro-CT parameters and classification systems could enhance future research and clinical applications.
