Study Notes
Root Canal Anatomy and Endodontic Cavity Preparation
- Accessory canals are lateral branches of the main root canal connecting the pulp space with the periodontium and ending with accessory foramina.
- Apical foramen is an aperture near or at the apex of the root through which blood vessels and nerves enter or leave the pulp cavity.
- Root canals are classified according to maturity (completion of root formation) and curvatures into Class I (straight), Class II (slight curved, severe dilacerated, bayonet), and Class III (tubular, immature, blunder buss).
- Weine's classification describes different possible configurations of root canal systems within a single root, including Type I (single orifice, canal, and apical foramen), Type II (two orifices, canals, and one apical foramen), and others.
- Pulp space morphology of anterior teeth includes the number of roots, root canals, pulp horns, access cavity, and outline form, mesiodistal and bucco-lingual dimensions, and cross-section of the root.
- Maxillary central incisors have one root and canal, three pulp horns, and a nearly triangular cross-section at the cervical, ovoid at the middle, and round at the apical.
- Maxillary lateral incisors are similar to central incisors with minor differences in bucco-lingual width, crown size, and root curvature.
- Maxillary canines have one root and canal with an oval access cavity from the palatal surface and wide pulp chamber bucco-lingually.
- Mandibular incisors usually have one root and canal, but 30-40% may have two canals, with a wide pulp chamber bucco-lingually.
- Mandibular canines typically have one root and canal, with an oval access cavity from the lingual surface and wide pulp chamber bucco-lingually.
- Endodontic cavity preparation involves intra-coronal and intra-radicular cavity preparation, with access being crucial for successful cleaning, shaping, and obturation.
- Access cavity preparation follows principles of outline form, convenience form, and removal of remaining carious dentin and defective restorations to ensure complete access, visibility, and accessibility for instrumentation and obturation.
