Background & Objective: The precise anatomical knowledge of root canals can have positive impact on endodontic treatment outcomes. Recently, a new root canal classification system has been proposed by Ahmed. This study aims to compare Vertucci’s and Ahmed’s classification systems to analyze canal configuration of mandibular incisors on CBCT scans. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in Dental College of Qassim University, Saudi Arabia from May 2023 to April 2024. CBCT 300 images were obtained. Each mandibular incisor tooth was traced axially from the canal orifice to the apex. The canals were classified according to Vertucci’s and Ahmed’s classification systems. Analysis was performed by two calibrated observers. Cohen-Kappa value was calculated to determine the inter and intra observer reliability. The data were analyzed by SPSS-version 26. Results: CBCT analysis showed that 88.9% of teeth studied were Vertucci type 1 and Ahmed’s 1MI1. 5.3% fell in Vertucci Type III and Ahmed’s 1MI1-2-1. 4.4% were of type V Vertucci or Ahmed’s 1MI1-2. 0.6% teeth could not be classified according to Vertucci classification and were classified as 1MI1-2-1-2-1. Analysis by Chi-Square test revealed no statistically significant difference in distribution of the canal configuration according to gender or tooth type. The inter-observer and intra-observer reliability values were found to be 0.79 and 0.84, respectively. Conclusion: The majority of the mandibular incisors of the studied Saudi population were categorized as Vertucci Type-1 and Ahmed’s 1MI1. Vertucci Type-III and Ahmed’s 1MI1-2-1 were the most frequently encountered canal types in incisors with two canals. Ahmed’s classification was successful in classifying the whole study sample, whereas Vertucci’s classification was unable to classify five teeth. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.41.6.11972 How to cite this: Alfurayhi AS, Javed MQ, Shaikh SS, Khan M, Abulhamael AM, Habib SR.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the root and canal morphology of permanent maxillary first premolars in a Polish population using cone-beam computed tomography scanning (CBCT) and to compare the classifications by Vertucci and Ahmed et al. Images of 350 maxillary first premolars were analyzed. Scans were obtained from 226 patients: 131 women and 95 men. The root canal configurations were classified according to Vertucci and a new system by Ahmed et al. In addition, the number of roots and the level where roots bifurcated were identified. The results were submitted to statistical analysis. Most maxillary first premolars had two roots (69.1%). Most bifurcations were located in the coronal part of the root (44.2%) and the least in the apical part (15.3%). Bifurcation in the coronal part of the root was observed more often in the teeth of men than women. In turn, bifurcation in the central or apical part was significantly more common in women than in men. The most common canal configuration of the maxillary first premolars was type IV (78.2%) according to Vertucci and 2FPB1P1 (65.4%) according to the new classification. Among the remaining cases, almost all types of canals described by Vertucci, and many combinations of codes given in the new classification were demonstrated. The maxillary first premolars displayed a wide range of root and canal anatomical variations. The new system for classifying canal morphology based on Ahmed et al. is more accurate than the Vertucci classification.

Objective: To determine the root and canal morphology of permanent maxillary central and lateral incisors in a sample of Yemeni population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: A retrospective CBCT analysis of 400 maxillary anterior teeth from a Yemeni adults (18-50 years) was conducted. Image evaluation in sagittal, axial, and coronal planes using Ez3D-i software assessed root number, canal orifice number, canal number, and canal configuration based on Vertucci's and Ahmed's classifications. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were employed (p < 0.05). Results: All incisors exhibited a single root and canal with a single orifice. The predominant canal configuration was Type 1 according to both Vertucci's (93.5%) and Ahmed's (93.8%) classifications. Type 5 (bifurcation at the apex) was observed in 6.25% (Vertucci) and 6.0% (Ahmed) of cases, while Type 3 (canal division and reunion) was rare (0.25% Vertucci, 0.2% Ahmed). Conclusion: Permanent maxillary central and lateral incisors in the Yemeni population primarily demonstrate a single root and canal. Although variations in canal configuration exist, they are infrequent.

Objective. This study assessed the canal configuration of mandibular molars according to Vertucci’s classification of a Saudi population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods. A total of 290 first and 367 second mandibular molars were analyzed. The CBCT images were evaluated in three sections to inspect the number of roots and canals and canal system. The data are presented as frequencies and percentages. The chi-squared test was used to assess differences between both sides. SPSS was used for analysis, with a significance level of α ≤ 0.05. Results. Among the first molars, 95.4% of the teeth had two roots, and 64.5% had three canals. Approximately 57.9% showed Vertucci type IV mesial roots. Between the second molars, 89.6% of teeth had two roots and 80.4% had three canals. The frequency of Vertucci type IV (39.4%) was the highest in mesial roots. The first molars showed a high prevalence of 3-rooted teeth (5.5%). Both the right and left sides showed teeth with similar external and internal anatomy p < 0.05 . Conclusion. Most of the mandibular first and second molars had two roots and three canals. In the first mandibular molars, similar to the second mandibular molars, the majority of the mesial canals had Vertucci type IV, while the distal canals had Vertucci type I.

Introduction. While there are many root morphology classification systems with their own distinct advantages, there are many shortcomings that come along with each system. Objectives. The aim of this review was to compare the various root and root canal morphology classifications, their advantages, limitations, and clinical and research implications. Data Sources and Selection. An extensive literature search was conducted on PubMed and Scopus to identify the published data on root and root canal classification systems published until 1 May 2020 using keywords, root canal classification system, classification systems for root canals, and root morphology. The related literature was reviewed and then summarized. Data Synthesis. Several studies have analysed and detailed root and root canal classifications and further added new subsystems, works of Weine et al. (1969) and Vertucci et al. (1974). Besides, Sert and Bayirli (2004) added supplementary types to Vertucci’s classification system. A new classification was most recently introduced by Ahmed et al. (2017) involving the use of codes for tooth numbering, number of roots, and canal configuration. Conclusions. Weine et al. classified only single-rooted teeth, without considering multirooted teeth and complex configurations. Vertucci’s classification included complex configurations, with Sert and Bayirli adding further complex supplemental types. Ahmed et al.’s classification simplifies classifying root and canal morphology while overcoming the limitations of several previous classification systems making it beneficial for implementation in dental schools.

In the field of anthropology, discrete traits are considered as minimal epigenetic variations. However, they can elicit complications in endodontic therapy. Thorough understanding of root canal morphology is essential to achieving predictable results in endodontic practice, and may be attained by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The aim of the present study was to research the internal root anatomy of maxillary central and lateral incisors in vivo and quantify its variation in a population of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. A total 697 CBCT scans from a pre-existing database were observed, and the configuration type for each tooth was determined according to Vertucci’s classification. The data were described by absolute frequencies and percentages with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The CI was estimated by the Wilson Score method.Chi-square test (χ2 ) was used for comparing frequencies, with a 5% significance level. 238 CBCT scans met the inclusion criteria, resulting in 761 teeth assessed. Vertucci Type I configuration was observed in 760 teeth (99.9%) and the Type II was found in only one tooth (0.1%), in which the anatomy was compatible with dens in dente. When differences were analyzed according to sex, all the teeth in all women had Vertucci Type I configuration. In men, all maxillary central incisors were Vertucci Type I. Of 151 maxillary lateral incisors, 150 had Vertucci Type I configuration (99.3%) and 1 had Type II (0.7%). Conclusions: Maxillary incisor internal root anatomy prevalence was estimated from CBCT scans for the first time in an Argentine population. 99.9% of the sample presented Vertucci Type I configuration, and 0.1% had Vertucci Type II configuration. The clinical finding of maxillary incisors with anatomical complexity should be considered as a possibility in endodontic practice.

This study aimed to conduct a compendious review of root canal morphology of “permanent mandibular teeth in different regions of Saudi Arabia” to obtain a large sample representing the total population. A detailed search through the databases Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The data were analyzed based on the following inclusion criteria: original full-length original articles that reported the variables of interest “(number of roots, number of canals, Vertucci’s classification system and C-shaped canals or mid-mesial canals)” of the mandibular teeth and conducted on Saudi subjects. The retrieved data were presented as frequencies and percentages. The results revealed that 56.6% of mandibular central incisors had one canal and Vertucci type I (56.6%), while 57.4% of the mandibular lateral incisors had one canal, with Vertucci types I and III most frequent. In mandibular canines, 91.8% had one canal and 8.2% had two canals. Most of the mandibular first premolars had one root (86.6%), while almost all mandibular second premolars (91.5%) had one canal, and 96.9% had Vertucci type I configuration. Among the mandibular first molars, three and four canals were prevalent in 58.7% and 40.6%, respectively. The majority of mesial roots had Vertucci type IV (60.6%), and most of distal roots had Vertucci type I (72.2%). Most of the mandibular second molars had three canals (87.3%) and showed Vertucci type IV (39.4%) canals for mesial roots and Vertucci type I (95.6%) for distal roots. The C-shaped canals were seen in 8% of first premolars and 9.8% of second molars. The middle mesial canal was found in 4.2% and 0.4% of first and second molars, respectively. This review could represent “the population of Saudi Arabia as the included samples were combined from different regions of the country.” Some variations were noticed within the same group of teeth from different regions. However, the overall results of combined samples were comparable to the other international studies.

<strong>Objectives: </strong>This research aimed to analyze and compare the morphology of the mesiobuccal (MB) root and its canals in maxillary first molars (M1Ms) using Vertucci (1984) and Ahmed et al. (2017) classification systems. <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>250 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 500 M1M teeth were evaluated for MB root and canal configurations. The images were analyzed from sagittal, axial and coronal perspectives. Canal number and morphology were documented according to Vertucci's method as well as a more recent classification system. <strong>Results: </strong>The majority of MB roots had Type I morphology according to the Vertucci classification (right: 38.4%; left: 43.2%), and according to the new root canal morphology classification system, the most common code detected was <sup>3</sup>16 MB<sup>1</sup> in the right side (37.6%), <sup>3</sup>26 MB<sup>1</sup> for the left side (41.2%). Subsequently, Type IV (right: 24.4%; left: 26.0%) and Type V (right: 16.4%; left: 14.4%) were the next most frequently identified morphologies according to the Vertucci classification, whereas according to Ahmed's classification <sup>3</sup>16 MB<sup>2</sup> (24.4%), <sup>3</sup>26 MB<sup>2</sup> (25.2%), <sup>3</sup>16 MB<sup>1-2</sup> (16.4%), and <sup>3</sup>26 MB<sup>1-2</sup> (14.0%) were the most common. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> It is vital for dentists to locate and treat all parts of a tooth, especially the MB2 canals in M1Ms, to prevent endodontic treatment failure due to microbial contamination and infection. For clinicians seeking clarity in root and canal morphology, the new classification system offers a more precise and user-friendly approach than the traditional Vertucci classification.
