Prevalence and morphology of C‐shaped and non‐C‐shaped root canal systems in mandibular second molars

“…Despite the possible limitations of CBCT, the overall prevalence of mesial root isthmuses, which occurred predominantly in two‐rooted teeth (61%), compares well with the 42%–76% prevalence in second molars reported in previous CBCT studies assessing simple presence or absence 28,29 . A similar prevalence of 30%–55% has also been reported in ex vivo diaphanization studies, 2,30 and of up to 84% with micro‐CT 31 .…”

Prevalence of middle mesial canal using cone beam computed tomography: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Two studies were excluded because the studies did not include the MMC in mesial root configuration ( Pawar et al, 2017 , Zhang et al, 2015 ), four studies were excluded because they did not state the voxel size and the CBCT machine ( Al Shehadat et al, 2019 , Babu and Anjaneyulu, 2020 , Perlea et al, 2019 , Reddy et al, 2021 ), and one study was excluded because the voxel size used in the study was more than 400 µm ( Tredoux et al, 2021 ). Finally, 28 studies were included in the meta-analysis ( Abarca et al, 2020 , Akbarzadeh et al, 2017 , Aldosimani et al, 2021 , Arayasantiparb et al, 2017 , Bhatti et al, 2022 , Demirbuga et al, 2013 , Hasheminia et al, 2021 , Hosseini et al, 2020 , Hu et al, 2019 , Inaty et al, 2020 , Kantilieraki, 2019 , Kuzekanani et al, 2020 , Ni et al, 2018 , Nur et al, 2014 , Palottil et al, 2021 , Pan et al, 2019 , Qiao et al, 2020 , Rehman et al, 2020 , Roshdy and El Khodary, 2018 , Sajjan et al, 2021 , Senthil and Solete, 2021 , Shah and Khan, 2019 , Shakeri et al, 2019 , Srivastava et al, 2018 , Tahmasbi et al, 2017 , Torres et al, 2015 , Xu et al, 2020 , Yang et al, 2020 ). The main features of the included studies are summarized in Table 1 .…”
