Abstract
In this study, 100 mandibular central and lateral incisors were used to determine
the number of root canals and their types, the ramifications of the root canal, the
location of apical foramina, and the frequency of apical deltas. The teeth were immersed
in India ink, decalcified, and cleared. The examination of root canal systems of the
teeth was based on Vertucci's classification. Two more root canal types which are
not defined in that classification have also been determined and grouped as new types.
