Root Canal Morphology of Mandibular Second Premolars in a Saudi Population: Cone-beam Computed Tomography Analysis with a Recent Coding System
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: AIM: The present study aimed to evaluate the root and canal anatomy of mandibular (MAND) second premolars in a southern Saudi population using high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and the recent coding system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: -value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: > 0.05), although the 30-40 age-group exhibited the largest anatomical variation. CONCLUSION: canal configuration is the most prevalent in MAND second premolars. While the most predominant is a single root with a single canal, the study also confirms the existence of complex anatomical variations. Gender and age-group did not have a statistically significant impact on root canal anatomy. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Accurate knowledge of MAND second premolar morphology is essential for successful endodontics. Population-specific data and CBCT with a recent coding system enhance diagnosis and support better clinical outcomes. How to cite this article: Alelyani AA.
