Aim To analyze the symmetry in root canal configurations in the maxillary and mandibular permanent molar teeth of a Caucasian population using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Results Of 45 patients who had both maxillary first molars, 32 (71.1%) had perfect symmetry in the root and canal morphology of homonym teeth on the opposite side. As regards the maxillary second molars, the symmetry was observed in 43 patients (79.6%) of 54. Of 34 patients who had both mandibular first molars, 24 (70.6%) showed a perfect symmetry in the root and canal morphology of homonym teeth on the opposite side. As regards the mandibular second molars, the symmetry was observed in 47 patients (81%) of 58. Conclusions CBCT is an exciting and clinically useful tool in studying root canal morphology and so the symmetry between homonym teeth.

Abstract
Aim To analyze the symmetry in root canal configurations in the maxillary and mandibular permanent molar teeth of a Caucasian population using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Results Of 45 patients who had both maxillary first molars, 32 (71.1%) had perfect symmetry in the root and canal morphology of homonym teeth on the opposite side. As regards the maxillary second molars, the symmetry was observed in 43 patients (79.6%) of 54. Of 34 patients who had both mandibular first molars, 24 (70.6%) showed a perfect symmetry in the root and canal morphology of homonym teeth on the opposite side. As regards the mandibular second molars, the symmetry was observed in 47 patients (81%) of 58. Conclusions CBCT is an exciting and clinically useful tool in studying root canal morphology and so the symmetry between homonym teeth.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
