| Popis: | Background: Conventional radiographic techniques being two dimensional, has its restrictions and is confined to limited diagnostic value. However, the incorporation of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) gives a three dimensional insight to the tooth morphology and leads to better evaluation and treatment management. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and assess the root canal morphology of mandibular pre-molars in South Indian Population using CBCT radiographic technique. Materials and Methods: One thousand and eighty six and 814 fully erupted mandibular first and second premolars respectively were scanned using CBCT to evaluate the canal morphology according to Vertucci and Gulabiwala’s classification. Results: The most common configuration in mandibular first and second premolars was Vertucci’s Type I(83.81% and 93.48% respectively) followed by Type V (11.97% and 3.5% respectively). Conclusion: South Indian population presented Type IV ertucci’s canal morphology as the most common in mandibular first and second pre-molars followed by Type V. CBCT scanning poses a greater advantage in assessing the complexity of root canal morphology and planning an appropriate endodontic treatment for the same. |
