Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to assess Maxillary First Bicuspid Root Canal Morphology ‘using Cone Beam Computed Tomography’
Methodology: This was ‘Descriptive study’ and was carried out in the Radiology department at Rehman College of Dentistry in Peshawar from September 15, 2022 to March 15, 2023. The ‘CBCT scans of 120 patients from both sexes aged between 18 to 60 years were analyzed’. The Cone Beam Computed Tomography scan was evaluated for the configuration and number of pulp canals. Their results were analyzed through SPSS (v. 21). A chi square test was performed to see the effect modifiers of canal number stratified by gender. Significance was set at a p-value of 0.05.
Results: Among the ‘120 Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans (N=120), 69 (57.5%) were females and 51 (42.5%) were males with the mean age of 32.02, the ages ranged from 18-55 years and the standard deviation was 13.45 years’. ‘Most of the maxillary first bicuspids had a 2 canal (n=73, 60.83%) followed by 3 canals (n=27, 22.50%)’. C shaped canals (n=11, 9.16%) and single canal teeth (n=2, 1.68%) were rare. The number of canals in genders was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The most common type of maxillary first bicuspids has two canals followed by three canals. Prevalence of teeth with c shaped canals and single canal teeth is rare.
