Assessment of “Maxillary First Premolar” Root canal configurations in population of Jaipur Rajasthan using CBCT analysis:An observational study

Abstract

 In this observational study, Cone Beam Computed Tomography was employed to examine the root canal morphology of maxillary first premolars in the Jaipur population.The scans of patients referred from private radiology centres were analysed for the number of roots, canal configurations, and biaxial symmetry. Significant anatomical variation was observed, highlighting the need for population-specific data in endodontic treatment planning. Bilateral symmetry was present in many cases but was not consistent across all samples. The findings reinforce the utility of CBCT as a reliable, non-invasive aid for accurate identification for complex root canal systems, ultimately aiding in improved clinical outcomes.
