Evaluation of the Root Canal Morphology of Mandibular Permanent Anterior Teeth Using Cone-beam Computed Tomography in Central Indian population: A Retrospective Study
Abstract: Aims: This study aims to evaluate and compare variations in root canal morphology of mandibular anterior teeth in the Central Indian population using CBCT. Methods and Material: This retrospective study included 50 CBCT images comprising 300 mandibular anterior teeth. Teeth fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. Vertucci?s classification was used to determine the number of root canals and root canal morphology (RCM). The frequency of RCM according to gender was also assessed. The collected data were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The sample included 42.5% males and 57.5% females, with a mean age of 37.61 ? 14.36 years. Type I canal configuration was most common, observed in 79.4% of central incisors, 72.75% of lateral incisors, and 91.35% of canines. Significant differences were noted between the right and left mandibular anterior teeth. However, no significant gender-based differences in RCM were observed. A significant age-related difference was identified only in the RCM of the right mandibular canine. Conclusions: Type I canal configuration was most prevalent in mandibular anterior teeth. Type VI canals were least common in central and lateral incisors, whereas type II and type IV configurations were least frequent in canines. Significant differences were found in the presence of multiple canals between right and left mandibular anterior teeth.
