Summary
This study examined mandibular molar root canal anatomy in the Rohilkhand population. Findings reveal variations, including C-shaped canals and extra roots, crucial for endodontic treatment planning.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Dental Anatomy
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Understanding pulp and root canal morphology is vital for successful endodontic diagnosis and treatment.
- Mandibular molars exhibit significant variability in root and canal numbers, necessitating detailed anatomical studies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the root canal morphology of mandibular molars within the Rohilkhand population.
- To document variations in root canal anatomy using Dentascan imaging.
Main Methods:
- Dentascan imaging was performed on 99 extracted mandibular molars from the Rohilkhand region.
- Root canal systems were analyzed and classified according to Vertucci's criteria.
Main Results:
- 60.6% of teeth had three canals, and 39.4% had four canals.
- 6% of mandibular molars presented with C-shaped canals, and 3% had extra distal roots.
Conclusions:
- The study highlights significant variations in mandibular molar root canal morphology in the studied population.
- Knowledge of these anatomical variations, including C-shaped canals, is essential for effective endodontic therapy.
