The Worldwide Studies
The Worldwide Studies are an ongoing project under the supervision of Dr Jorge Martins (Portugal) on the evaluation of root canal anatomy using CBCT technology. It counts with the collaboration of researchers and clinicians from several countries with the aim to unveil the anatomical variations and the most prevalent canal configurations of thousands of teeth according to gender, geographic location and ethnic group. Right now there are 4 published studies and I had the opportunity to work in some of them. In 2022, a new phase from this project has started with the aim to publish at least 3 additional papers with the collaboration of people from 49 countries! A great achievement for our specialty.
