Özet
Aim: The success of a root canal treatment is influenced by the status of
the root canals. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of
second root canals in mandibular incisors and the prevalence of root canal
separation in the cervical, middle, and apical thirds in cases with two
root canals.
Methodology: Retrospective cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)
data from 500 patients seen between 2016 and 2018 was evaluated. A
total of 300 patients—134 male and 166 female—aged 13–71 years (mean
age 39.34 ± 13.44) were included in this study. A total of 587 central
mandibular incisors and 582 lateral mandibular incisors were examined.
The number of roots and the root canal morphology, based on Vertucci’s
classification, were analyzed. The effect of gender on the prevalence of
root canal anatomy was also evaluated.
Results: The occurrences of more than one root canal in the mandibular
lateral and mandibular central were 41.2% and 40.4%, respectively, and
all teeth had a single root. Type I (59.2%) was the most common type,
followed by Type III (31.4%), Type II (5.8%), Type VII (2.1 %), Type VI
(0.8%), and Type V (0.7%). Type IV and Type VIII were not observed. Root
canal separation in the two root canals of the central and lateral
mandibular incisors was found in the middle third of the root in 65.4% and
74.6% of cases, respectively. The incidence of Type III in males (39%) was
higher than in females (25.4%), while the incidence of Type I in females
(67.7%) was significantly higher than in males (48.3%). Second canals in
the mandibular incisors were detected more frequently in men than in
women.
Conclusion: The overall prevalence of second canals in the mandibular
incisors was 40.8%; Type III was observed most frequently. CBCT is an
appropriate method for identifying the canal morphologies of mandibular
incisors.
