Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of bilateral three-rooted mandibular first and second molars in Indian population.
Materials And Methods: A total of 215 patients were screened bilaterally for mandibular first and second molar and 430 samples of periapical radiographs were obtained. The gender, symmetry, and prevalence of three-rooted mandibular first and second molars were recorded. The correlation between left and right side occurrences and distribution were recorded and analysed using Z-test.
Results: The results showed that 33 teeth had three-rooted mandibular first molars, 16 male and 17 female (P=0.442). Overall, 21 teeth of right jaw and 12 teeth of left jaw (P=0.103) showed presence of an extra-root. The prevalence of three-rooted mandibular first molars was 7.67% and second molar was 0.23%. The bilateral frequency distribution was 3.72% for the first molar. There was no statistically significant difference between right side and left side mandibular molars. Also, gender did not show a significant relationship with this variant.
Conclusion: The endodontic treatments of first mandibular molars require a careful clinical approach in Indian population as a high racial prevalence of 7.67% three-rooted molars was found. However, in the same population, 0.23% mandibular second molars had three roots.

Background: This retrospective study aims to characterise the root canal morphology of maxillary and mandibular second molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The number of roots and canal configurations were evaluated using both the Vertucci and Benjamı´n Brisen˜ o Marroquı´n classification systems.
Methods: A total of 1084 second molar images (523 maxillary; 266 right and 257 left side and 561 mandibular; 285 right and 276 left side) were evaluated from 320 CBCT scans analyzed for the Turkish subpopulation.

Background Anatomical variations in the mandibular first molars can significantly impact endodontic outcomes. The presence of additional roots, such as the distolingual radix entomolaris (RE) and the mesiobuccal radix paramolaris (RP), complicates endodontic procedures. Traditional radiographs often fail to detect these variations due to their inherent limitations.

This study aimed to develop a deep learning system for the detection of three-rooted mandibular first molars (MFMs) on panoramic radiographs and to assess its diagnostic performance. Panoramic radiographs, together with cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of the same subjects, were retrospectively collected from 730 patients, encompassing a total of 1444 MFMs (367 teeth were three-rooted and the remaining 1077 teeth were two-rooted). Five convolutional neural network (CNN) models (ResNet-101 and - 50, DenseNet-201, MobileNet-v3 and Inception-v3) were employed to classify three- and two-rooted MFMs on the panoramic radiographs.

Background: To investigate the anatomic features of the root furcation of permanent mandibular first molars.
Methods: A total of 50 extracted mandibular first molars (25 two-rooted and 25 three-rooted) were collected and scanned using micro-computed tomography. The digital models of teeth and root canal systems were reconstructed three-dimensionally.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding root canal anatomy is crucial for successful treatment, and this study analyzes the root morphology and canal configuration of permanent premolars (PMs).
- The systematic review of 82 studies showed biases in how studies reported objectives and methodologies, with maxillary PM1s mostly having double roots and canals, while mandibular PMs typically featured single roots and canals.
- Subgroup analyses indicated variations by ethnicity and gender, with Asians and women more likely to have single-rooted PMs compared to Caucasians and men.
