title: Morphology of Mandibular Incisors: A Study on CBCT.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of the study was to identify the number of root canals and examine root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisors in an Indian sub-population of Pune, Maharashtra, India using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
  
  
  METHODS
  This study was conducted at Elite CBCT & Dental Diagnostics, Pune. One hundred mandibular incisors were evaluated for the number of root, root canals and root morphology.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the present study, amongst 102 mandibular incisors, all had one root, 36% of them had a second canal, and Vertucci Type I was the most common type.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CBCT imaging is an excellent method for detection of different canal configurations of mandibular incisors.
