Retrospective Study of Root Canal Configurations of Mandibular Third Molars Using CBCT- Part-II
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Abnormal root canal morphologies of third molars can be diagnostically and technically challenging during root canal treatment. Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the root and canal morphology of mandibular third molars in Central India population by using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) analysis. Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 171 mandibular third molars were observed and data regarding number of roots, number of canals, Vertucci’s classification in each root, prevalence of C shaped canal, gender and topographical relation of morphology in mandibular third molar was statistically evaluated. Results: Majority of mandibular third molars had two roots (84.2%) and three canals (64.3%). Most mesial root had Vertucci Type II (55.6%) and Vertucci Type IV (22.2%), distal root had Type I canals (87.5%). Over all prevalence of C shaped canals in mandibular third molars was 9.4%. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of two rooted mandibular third molars with three canals
