Análisis radiográfico de las variaciones anatómicas de los canales radiculares en incisivos inferiores almacenados en el banco de dientes humanos permanentes (bdhp) de La Universidad Santo Tomás

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify by conventional radiographs the number of root canals in the lower incisor teeth stored in the bank human permanent teeth (BPHT) of the Santo Tomas University according to the classification of Vertucci. Materials and Methods: The universe with which counted were 200 lower incisors (109 stations and 91 lateral). The teeth were radiographed from a vestibular and mesial and the presence of a second channel and Verucci classification for each examined. Results: Of the 200 teeth examined one 32.46% had a second channel. Vertucci was the most prevalent type III (27.2%) and type VII (3.7%). Conclusions: 32.46% of the lower incisors in a Colombian population had two root canals in teeth with one root.
