Area of Science:

Dentistry
Human Anatomy

Context:

Literature review reveals assumptions about mandibular canine root morphology.
Previous studies lack definitive data on root number in mandibular canines.

Purpose:

To investigate and clarify the root anatomy of permanent mandibular canines.
To determine the prevalence of single versus multiple roots in this tooth type.

Summary:

Examination of 806 mandibular canine specimens.
95% of specimens exhibited a single root.
5% of specimens presented with two roots.

Impact:

Challenges existing assumptions in dental anatomy literature.
Provides empirical data for endodontic and orthodontic procedures.

Enhances understanding of tooth morphology for dental professionals.
