Abstract

The technical execution of root canal treatment procedures demands a thorough understanding and knowledge of root and canal anatomy. Over the decades, and with the aid of various research methods such as staining and clearing, 2D radiographic imaging, sectioning procedures, cone beam computed tomography and micro-computed tomography, many laboratory and clinical studies have been undertaken to understand the root and canal anatomy of the human dentition. This has resulted in a tremendous increase in the body of knowledge with a wide range of qualitative and quantitative presentations of the root and canal anatomy. This review aims to provide a critical analysis for the laboratory and clinical research methods in root and canal anatomy studies. In addition, it aims to identify existing gaps and present insights for directions of future research and ways for translation to clinical endodontics.
