Classification and morphology of middle mesial canals of mandibular first molars in a Southern Chinese subpopulation: a cone-beam computed tomographic study
Abstract:Background: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was employed to study the morphology and curvature of middle mesial canals (MMCs) of mandibular first molars (MFMs).Methods: CBCT scanning was performed on MFMs of 1100 patients. Patients' images that met the inclusion criteria were divided into group A (<40 years old) and group B (≥40 years old) for further study. The images were used to study the incidence of MMCs at different ages, measure the curvature of MMCs in the mesiodistal and buccolingual direction… Show more
