Bifid Mandibular Canal: A Proportional Meta-Analysis of Computed Tomography Studies.

Introduction: Growing body of evidences showed different grades in prevalence of bifid mandibular canals. Because the previous reviews focused solely on patient-level occurrence, hemi-mandible-level prevalence, bilateral symmetry, length, and diameter of bifid mandibular canals were required to be estimated collectively. The research question of this meta-analysis was "What is the prevalence of bifid mandibular canal among patients seeking computed tomography examinations"?

Materials And Methods: In vivo, computed tomography, and cross-sectional studies were eligible.

Three-Rooted Permanent Mandibular First Molars: A Meta-Analysis of Prevalence.

Introduction: Although numerous amounts of high-level evidence were present, they solely emphasized the tooth-level prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molar. Global patient-level prevalence and bilateral symmetrical distribution of this type of teeth were needed to be tackled across the world. The research question was "What is the global prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molars?"

Materials And Methods: In vivo epidemiological studies undergone with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) were eligible.

Diagnostic Accuracy of CBCT for Detection of Second Canal of Permanent Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Missed canal is one of the common reasons for nonsurgical endodontic retreatments. The missed canals were frequently associated with periapical pathology. The aim of this systematic review was to find the diagnostic accuracy of CBCT for detection of the second canal of the root canal system of permanent teeth.

Evidence of Second Canal between Permanent Mandibular Central and Lateral Incisors in China; a Systematic Review on CBCT Studies.

Introduction: Evidence of second canal in permanent mandibular incisors is frequently questioned in dentistry. The difference in evidence between the two teeth is an interesting argument across different countries and ethnicities. So the aim of the systematic review was to investigate the evidence of second canal between permanent mandibular central and lateral incisors in China.

Root Canal Anatomy of Myanmar Permanent Mandibular Incisors in Mandalay Region.

Introduction: Incomplete understanding of the root canal system leads to endodontic failure. Missed canal was the fourth most common endodontic failure, which needed retreatment. There were a few studies on internal morphology of posterior teeth of Myanmar population.
