Anatomical Configuration of Mandibular Incisors: a Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study

Purpose: Through the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, the objective of this study was to investigate the root canal anatomy of mandibular incisors in a subset of Iraqis. Methods: A total of 519 permanent incisors in the jaw were included in the 150 CBCT pictures that were taken into consideration. An examination of statistics was carried out on the reported root canal number as well as the root canal configuration, which was then classified in accordance with the Vertucci technique. A research project was carried out with the purpose of investigating the relationship between gender and age, as well as the frequency of root canal morphology and the number of root canals. Result: Type I Vertucci configurations were found in the teeth of the study participants at a rate of 54.9 %, followed by type III configurations at a rate of 43.3 %. Types V and VII configurations were found in the least significant proportions, with 1.2 % and 0.6 respectively. With each and every incisor that was checked, there was a single root that was present. Patients who were above the age of 40 had a lower number of teeth that required two root canals. Conclusion: The most prevalent kind of mandibular incisors found in the Iraqi subpopulation are those that have a single canal and a structure that is classified as kind I canal. On the other hand, there are instances in which there is more than one root canal, and the patterns of the canals are different.
