A correlation study of occlusal and pulp chamber anatomy: the mandibular first molar.

Many parameters must be addressed for endodontic therapy to succeed. Because conservation of tooth structure is vital, the pulp chamber and root canal orifices should be located by using a method that is consistent yet accurate. The correlation of occlusal anatomy with the locations of the root canal orifice may aid dentists with access design.

A correlation study of occlusal and pulp chamber anatomy: the maxillary first molar.

The success of endodontic therapy is based on a number of criteria, particularly the conservation of tooth structure. This principle requires a systematic approach to pulp chamber access. By correlating the occlusal anatomy with the location of the root canal orifice, a dentist may find a number of guidelines for improving access design.
