Abstract
The present study is aimed at evaluating the anatomic concurrence between foramen openings and root apexes of 247 upper and lower permanent human molar canals, the distance between these structures,the instrument that best fits into the root canal, as well as the direction of foramen deviation.Sixty-four of the canals were partially impenetrable and were discarded.The findingsn showed that 39.9% of the root canals studied had their apical foramen concurrent with their root apexes and 60.1% did not.Clinicians must be made aware of this important anatomical detail,which could be indispensable for successful endodontic treatment.
