Shabir Ahmad Bhat, Ravinder Kumar Bhagat, Omer Hussain Misgar

Introduction: This study was conducted to assess the morphology of mandibular canines using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a Kashmiri population. Methodology: A total of 200 permanent mandibular canines were selected and scanned using CBCT. The  anatomy of root was evaluated for the following parameters: the pattern of the root canals, anatomic length of the crown and the root, the presence of accessory canals, the shape of the access cavity, the position of the apical foramina. Results:In  present study the mandibular canines showed  various canal patterns like Type I (82.2%), Type II (4.2%), Type III (10%), and Type V (2%) based on Vertucci’s [2] classification. In addition to this,  four of the mandibular canines (1.6%) had a (2-1-2-1) canal configuration which is Type XIX. Conclusion: The root canal anatomy of permanent mandibular canines varied widely in an Kashmiri population.
Key words:  Mandibular canines, Root canal.
