Abstract

Background: The anatomy of the root canal system is extremely complex such as morphology, lateral canal, or functional canal. With the desire to help endodontists achieve treatment success in clinical practice, we carry out this study: “Analysis of root characteristics and root canal system of upper first molars (UFM) with Cone Beam Computed Tomography”. Objectives: Describe the characteristics of the root and root canal system of upper first molars (UFM) with Cone Beam Computed Tomography in a Vietnamese group. Results: The results of the study showed that 96.4% UFM has 3 roots, 0.6% UFM has 4 roots and teeth with 2 roots were not detected. Most of UFM have 4 root canals and the mesiobuccal one usually has more than 1 canal (69.8%). Canal morphology of UFM exhibit complex anatomical variations such as C-shaped configuration. Conclusions: The results of the study showed that 96.4% UFM has 3 roots, 0.6% UFM has 4 roots and teeth with 2 roots were not detected. Most of UFM have 4 root canals and the mesiobuccal one usually has more than 1 canal (69.8%). Canal morphology of UFM exhibit complex anatomical variations such as C-shaped configuration.
