The Root Canal Anatomy Project: April 2013

From 2011-2016, images and videos of "The Root Canal Anatomy Project" were developed at the Laboratory of Endodontics of Ribeirao Preto Dental School. From 2016, images were acquired in other educational institutions. They can be freely used for attributed noncommercial educational purposes by educators, scholars, student and clinicians. It means that all material used should include proper attribution and citation (http://rootcanalanatomy.blogspot.com). In such cases, this information should be linked to the image in a manner compatible with such instructional objectives. Unfortunately, because material shared on the RCAP has not been properly cited by several users, from November 2019 a watermark was added to the images and videos. Enjoy!

Cover: 3-D micro-CT models of a mandibular molar showing the changes of the original root-canal anatomy (green) after preparation with a multiple-file rotary system. Each color represents preparation by one of five instruments. The last image in the sequence represents the root canal after shaping (red) superimposed on the original canal (green), demonstrating that most of the surface area was prepared using the multiple-file system.
