Study Notes
Pulp Space Morphology
- Successful endodontic treatment depends on proper diagnosis, cleaning, shaping and obturation of the pulp space.
- Pulp space is the central cavity within the tooth enclosed by dentin, except at the apical foramen.
- The pulp space is divided into coronal pulp space and radicular pulp space.
- The coronal pulp space is the space occupied by the pulp tissue within the crown, including:
- Pulp chamber: The pulp space within the crown, reflecting the external form of the crown, which may be affected by aging and dentin deposition.
- Pulp horns: Accentuations in the roof of the pulp chamber, located directly below cusps.
- The radicular pulp space is the space occupied by the pulp tissue within the root, including:
- Root canal: The part of the pulp space within the root, starting with an orifice and ending with an apical foramen.
- Accessory canals: Lateral branches of the main root canal connecting the pulp space to the periodontium.
- The apical foramen is the opening at or near the root apex through which blood vessels and nerves enter or leave the pulp cavity.
- The apical foramen can be located at the anatomical apex in only 17-46% of cases. It can be positioned mesially, distally, labially or lingually, within 0.4-0.7 mm from the anatomical apex.
Root Canal Classes
- Root canals can be classified based on maturity and curvature.
- Class I: Mature, straight root canals.
-
Class II: Mature, curved root canals, including:
- Slightly curved
- Severely curved
- Dilacerated
- Bayonet
-
Class III: Immature with open apex, including:
- Tubular
- Blunderbuss
Types of Root Canal Configurations (Systems)
- 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 that divides into two canals within the body of the root, forming a dentin island, then reunites to exit with one apical foramen.
- Type VI: Two root canals with two orifices that unite within the root into one canal, then divide again at the apical third into two canals with two apical foramina.
Pulp Space Morphology of Anterior Teeth
Maxillary Central Incisor
- Average Length: 23 mm
- Root: One, bulky
- Canal Type: Type I
- Outline Form: Triangular in the middle one-third of the palatal surface, with base incisally and apex cervically.
Maxillary Lateral Incisor
- Average Length: 22.5 mm
- Root: One, slender, often with an apical distal and/or palatal curvature.
- Canal Type: Type I
- Outline Form: Triangular in the middle one-third of the palatal surface.
Maxillary Canine
- Average Length: 26 mm (longest root in the oral cavity)
- Root: One, slender mesio-distally and bulky labio-lingually, with possible distal/labial apical curvature.
- Canal Type: Type I
- Outline Form: Oval inciso-gingivally in the middle third of the palatal surface.
Mandibular Central and Lateral Incisor
- Average Length: 21 mm
- Root: One, narrow mesio-distally, but broad labio-lingually, with distal and/or lingual curvature. Sometimes two roots (labial and lingual) can be found.
- Canal Type:
- Type I: 60-70%
- Type II, Type III: 30-40%
- Outline Form: Triangular in the middle third of the lingual surface, but sometimes oval due to aging.
Mandibular Canine
- Average Length: 24 mm
- Root: One, narrow mesio-distally, but broad labio-lingually.
- Canal Type:
- Type I: 94%
- Type II, Type III: 6%
- Outline Form: Oval labio-lingually in the middle third of the lingual surface.
Pulp Space Morphology of Premolars
Maxillary First Premolar
- Average Length: 21 mm
- Root:
- Two roots: 60% (buccal and palatal)
- One root: 38%
- Three roots: Less than 2% (two buccal and one palatal)
- Canal Type:
- Two roots: Each has type I
- One root: Type III most frequent
- Three roots: Each has type I
- Outline Form: Oval in buccolingual dimension, in the center of the occlusal surface.
Maxillary Second Premolar
- Average Length: 21 mm
- Root:
- One root: 85%
- Two roots: 15%
- Canal Type:
- One root: Type I most frequent
- Two roots: Each has type I
- Outline Form: Oval buccolingual in the center of the occlusal surface.
Mandibular First Premolar
- Average Length: 22 mm
- Root:
- One root: Most frequent, bulky crown in relation to the more slender root.
- Two roots: Rare (buccal and lingual)
- Canal Type:
- One root: Type I most frequent (75%)
- Two roots: One canal is present in each root (type I)
- Outline Form: Ovoid buccolingually. The access cavity is located on the occlusal surface, slightly towards the buccal cusp.
Mandibular Second Premolar
- Average Length: 21.5 mm
- Root:
- One root: Most frequent
- Two roots: Rare (buccal and lingual)
- Three roots: Extremely rare (two buccal and one lingual)
- Canal Type:
- One root: Type I most frequent (85%)
- Type II, III, IV: Less frequent (15%)
- Outline Form: Ovoid buccolingually in the center of the occlusal surface.
Pulp Space Morphology of Molars
Maxillary First Molar
- Average Length: 20.5 mm
- Root: Three roots, two buccal and one palatal.
- Outline Form:
- Triangular, with base towards the buccal and the apex towards the lingual, reflecting the anatomy of the pulp chamber. Orifices are positioned at the angles of the triangle.
- In the case of a fourth canal (second mesiobuccal canal, MB2), the outline form would be quadrilateral, where the extra orifice is detected in a groove palatal to the mesiobuccal canal (MB1) as a "tail of a coma".
- The cavity is entirely within the mesial half of the tooth and should be extended enough to allow positioning of instruments and obturation techniques.
Mandibular First Molar
- Average Length: 21 mm
- Root: Two roots, one mesial and one distal.
- Outline Form:
- Triangular, with base towards the mesial and the apex towards the distal, reflecting the anatomy of the pulp chamber. Orifices are positioned at the angles of the triangle.
- In case of a fourth canal (DB or DL), the outline form would be quadrilateral.
- The cavity is entirely within the mesial 2/3 of the tooth and should be extended enough to allow positioning of instruments and obturation techniques.
Variations In The Internal Anatomy of Teeth
- Age
- Calcification
- Irritation
- Resorption
Variations in Development
- Gemination: Partial cleavage of the tooth germ, resulting in a tooth with a double or "twin" crown.
- Fusion: A "double" tooth resulting from the union of two adjacent tooth germs.
- Concrescence: Cemental fusion of two roots.
Variations in Shape of Pulp Cavity
- C-shaped: Often found in mandibular molars, with a single ribbon-shaped pulp chamber with a 180-degree arc or more.
Variations in Size of Tooth
- Microdontia: Smaller than normal tooth size.
- Macrodontia: Larger than normal tooth size.
