Root and root canal morphology of mandibular first and second molars in a Jordanian subpopulation: a cross-sectional cone-beam computed tomography study.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have explored root anatomy and root canal morphology variations across ethnic groups, but few have focused on the Jordanian population. This study, aimed to assess the prevalence of root anatomy and canal morphology in permanent teeth of a Jordanian subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This part of a four-part series focused on mandibular first and second molar teeth. Subsequent parts will address the root anatomy and canal morphology of (1) mandibular anterior teeth, (2) maxillary molars, and (3) maxillary and mandibular premolars. CBCT scans of 332 mandibular molars from patients treated at The University of Jordan Hospital between June and December 2022 were analysed. Canal configurations were categorized according to Vertucci's classification. The
