Root canal morphology and bifurcating/merging sites of permanent mandibular incisors in 9- to 12-year-old children: An in-vivo 3D visualization analysis in China. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 155:105781. [PMID: 37556979 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study aims to analyze the root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisors and the bifurcating/merging sites of root canal systems in children aged 9-12 in a Chinese subpopulation.Design Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 976 healthy, untreated and fully developed mandibular incisors were collected. Root canal morphology was identified by Vertucci's classification. Combined three-dimensional reconstruction and visualization techniques were used to locate bifurcating/merging sites in root canals. RESULTS Vertucci I was the most common classification of mandibular central incisors (42.3%) while Vertucci III was most common in mandibular lateral incisors (37.9%). Females more frequently showed Vertucci I classification (49.5% central incisors and 36.7% lateral incisors) while Vertucci III was most common among males (44.5% central incisors and 41.0% lateral incisors). The difference in canal classification by sex was statistically significant (p < 0.05). 58.7% of Vertucci V canals bifurcated in the apical third (AT) in central incisors, while 69.5% bifurcated in the middle third (MT) in lateral incisors. Bifurcating and merging in AT (44.3%) was the most common style of Vertucci III canals in central incisors, while bifurcating in MT and merging in AT (53.8%) was the most common in lateral incisors. CONCLUSION The root canal morphology of mandibular incisors in children aged 9-12 was different from that reported in previous studies on adults, and closely related to sex. Males had significantly greater canal variability than females. Lateral incisors had greater canal variability than central incisors. The bifurcating/merging sites were closely related to tooth type.

Evaluation of Root Anatomy and Canal Configuration of Human Permanent Maxillary First Molar Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: A Systematic Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:10160. [PMID: 36011794 PMCID: PMC9408299 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191610160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review the literature on root canal configuration (RCC) and the frequency of occurrence of a second mesiobuccal canal (MB) in human permanent maxillary first molars where cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used. Online electronic databases such as PubMed-Medline, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched using appropriate keywords from the earliest available date until 12th June 2022, without restriction on language. In the mesiobuccal root, type I was the most frequent (33.29%), followed by types II and IV (27.18% and 26.36%, respectively). Moreover, 68.2% of maxillary first molars had a second MB canal. For both the distobuccal and palatal roots, type I was the most prevalent, with 99.08% and 97.83% occurrence, respectively. All other types were infrequent. Type I RCC is most frequent in all the roots of the maxillary first molars. Hence, care must be taken during biomechanical preparation of the MB roots.

Root canal isthmi and interorifice distance in human permanent teeth of an Indian subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography: A retrospective cross-sectional study. J Conserv Dent 2021; 23:563-570. [PMID: 34083910 PMCID: PMC8095684 DOI: 10.4103/jcd.jcd_576_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of root canal isthmus (RCI) and measure the interorifice distance (IOD) between the root canals. Additionally to correlate IOD with the RCI in human permanent teeth using conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) in an Indian sub-population (Chennai). Materials and Methods: A total of 5881 teeth from 280 CBCT full mouth scans were analyzed. The presence or absence of complete and incomplete RCI of each tooth was identified using the map-reading strategy. IOD was calculated by measuring the distance between the center of each root canal orifice to that of the center of the adjacent orifice at the level of the cementoenamel junction using the axial and sagittal sections. Chi-square analysis and correlation statistics using Spearman's rank-order test was done (P < 0.05). Results: High prevalence of RCI was found in maxillary first premolars, mesial root of mandibular molars, and mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molars, while its prevalence was low in maxillary canines and mandibular premolars and absent in maxillary incisors. RCI was predominantly seen in the cervical and middle third of the root canal in all the teeth evaluated. A weak negative correlation was established between the IOD and RCI for maxillary premolars, whereas a weak positive correlation was seen in maxillary first molars and mandibular second molars. Conclusion: The prevalence of RCI was high in the posterior teeth in comparison to the anterior teeth in the present study. There was no strong correlation between IOD and RCI in all the teeth evaluated.
