Popis: AIM To determine whether a relationship exists between the apical shape of roots and root canal system complexity by performing a micro-computed tomography analysis. METHODOLOGY One hundred extracted permanent maxillary first molars were scanned using a micro-computed tomography device at 19.6 μm voxel size. Two groups of mesiobuccal roots were formed according to the root aspect ratio value in the apical 3-mm cross-sectional level ('
