Mandibular Central incisor
-
One root, one canal (or) one root, two canal, with one apical foramen Same as above
-
Ovoid labiolingual direction
-
Triangular shaped or ovoid shaped. Same as above
- Amang single rooted teeth, bifurcated roots are commonly seen in mandibular 1st premol followed by mandibular canines and incisors.
- Two or bifurcated root canals most common in mandibular incisors with the frequency of type II>type IV
-
Mandibular Lateral incisor
- same as above
-
Mandibular Canine
-
One root one canal or two roots or two canals
-
Ovoid
- Ovoid funnel shaped
-
Mandibular First premolar
-
One root one canal or one Ovoid root and two root canals
- Ovoid in buccolingual direction.
-
MANDIBULAR SECOND PREMOLAR
- Same as Above
-
Mandibular First molar
-
2 roots & 3 canals. Two in mesial root and one in distal root
-
Rhomboidal
- Trapezoidal in mesial half of crown. It becomes rectangular if a 4 canal is present
- About 30% of mandibular molars shows 4th canal in distal root
-
Mandibular Second molar
-
2 root & 3 canals.
-
C-shaped morphology most common
- Same as above
- The mesial root has 1 canal and 1 foramen in 27% cases
-
Mandibular Third molar
-
Usually have 2 roots and 2 root canals
- same as above
-
Maxillary Third molar
- May have fused roots, one conical root or four or more independent roots. Root canals may be one to five in number.
-
Maxillary Second Molar
-
Three roots and canals
- Same as above
- One may find c-shaped pulp chamber with a c-shaped root canal
-
Maxillary First molar
-
Three roots, three canals.
-
Triangle with lingual wall missing
- Triangle in mesial half of tooth. Base towards buccal and apex towards palatal side
- Usually (80% by microscope 4th canal is found in meto buccal root in palatal direction This makes the access cavity rhomboidal. (COMED 2014)

CLASSIFICATION OF ISTHMUS
-
TYPE 1
- defined as either two or three canals with no noticeable communication
-
2
- defined as two canals that had a definite connection between the two main canals
-
3
- differs from type II in that there are three canals instead of two,
-
4
- Incomplete C-shapes with three canals is also included in a type IV isthmus.
-
5
- identified as a true connection or corridor throughout the section
