Article Synopsis
- - This study reviewed root canal morphology in permanent mandibular teeth across various regions of Saudi Arabia, following PRISMA guidelines to collect and analyze data from multiple databases like Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.
- - It focused on several key factors including the number of roots and canals, and classified them according to Vertucci's system, finding that most mandibular incisors and canines typically have one canal, while molars can have up to four canals.
- - The findings showed variations in canal configurations across different regions but collectively represent the root canal anatomy of the Saudi population, with specific types such as C-shaped canals and mid-mesial canals observed in a smaller percentage of teeth.
Aim: This study is aimed at combining the sample sizes of all studies on permanent maxillary teeth conducted in different regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to obtain a large sample size that represents the population of the KSA. The outcome of these combined studies is compared with international studies in terms of the number of roots, number of canals, and canal configurations on the basis of Vertucci's classification. .
