Root and Root Canal Morphology of Maxillary Second Premolars in Jammu and Kashmir Population-An Invivo Study.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the number of roots and root canals in the maxillary second premolar in a group of Jammu and Kashmir population. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 patients, 92 female (46%) and 108 male (54%), received root canal treatment of maxillary second premolar from January 2010 to January 2017. The mean age of the patients was 32.7, ranging from 18 to 60 years. The teeth included in the study were examined clinically and radiographically for the number of roots and root canals using magnifying loupes. Results: Out of the total of 200 maxillary second premolars, 110 teeth had one root (55%), 86 teeth had two roots (43%), and four teeth had three roots (2%). Regarding root canal configuration, 57 teeth (28.5%) had one canal with one apical foramina, 53 teeth (26.5%) had two canals leaving the pulp chamber and merging to form a single canal with one apical foramen, 86 teeth (43%) had two canals with two separate apical foramina, and four teeth (2%) had three canals with separate apical foramina. Conclusion: The incidence of two canals (either with one or separate apical foramina) is very high in the maxillary second premolars in Jammu and Kashmir population. Therefore inspection should be done for the presence of second canal or sometimes even third canal whenever endodontic treatment is planned for this tooth.
