Abstract:Root canal treatment of carnassial teeth in dogs is a common endodontic technique which aims to re-establish or maintain the health of the periapical tissues. In total, 43 dogs were used in this study. Root canal morphology was evaluated in 86 superior fourth premolars and 86 inferior first molars.

The most common type of apical delta of the roots of superior fourth premolars was type II, with up to 10 apical ram… Show more
