Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the radiographic films of 846 endodontically treated teeth at Benied Al Ghar Dental Center in Kuwait. The most frequently treated tooth was the mandibular first molar (17.4%). The number, percentage, and distribution of the roots, root canals, and apical foramina were reported by individual tooth. The clinical findings were compared to the results of previously related in vitro and in vivo studies.
