Study Notes
Pulp Space Morphology
- Pulp space is the central cavity within a tooth enclosed by dentin, apart from the apical foramen.
- It varies between teeth and undergoes changes due to age and dentin deposition.
Divisions of Pulp Space
-
Coronal Pulp Space: Located within the crown of the tooth.
- Pulp chamber: Reflects the external crown shape, with size decreasing due to age and dentin deposition.
- Pulp horns: Projections in the roof of the pulp chamber directly below cusps.
-
Radicular Pulp Space: Located within the root of the tooth.
- Root canal: Starts at an orifice and ends at the apical foramen.
- Accessory canals: Lateral branches connecting the pulp space to the periodontium, mainly found in the apical third of the canal and furcation area of multirooted teeth.
- Lateral canal: Accessory canal branching to the lateral surface of the root, visible on radiographs.
Apical Foramen
- Opening at or near the apex of the root, allowing blood vessels and nerves to enter or leave the pulp cavity.
- Location can vary, with only 17-46% situated within the anatomical apex.
Root Canal Classes
- Class I: Mature, straight root canals.
-
Class II: Mature, curved root canals.
- Slightly curved:
- Severely curved:
- Dilacerated:
- Bayonet:
-
Class III: Immature with open apex.
- Tubular:
- Blunderbuss:
Root Canal Configurations
- Type I: Single root canal with one orifice and one apical foramen.
- Type II: Two root canals with two orifices and one apical foramen.
- Type III: Two root canals with two orifices and two apical foramina.
- Type IV: Single root canal with one orifice and two apical foramina, forming an apical delta.
- Type V: Single root canal with one orifice dividing into two canals within the root, forming a dentin island, merging again to exit with one apical foramen.
- Type VI: Two root canals with two orifices uniting within the root into one canal, then dividing again at the apical third into two canals with two apical foramina.

Variations in Internal Anatomy of Teeth
Causes:
- Age
- Calcification
- Irritation
- Resorption
Types:
-
Variations in Development:
