Title: Morphological Study of Pulp Cavity Anatomy of Canine Teeth in Domestic Cats using Micro-Computing Tomography
Project Amount: $10,000
Project Period: October 2023 to September 2024
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
The aim of this study is to systematically document the morphological characteristics and perform a quantitative analysis of mandibular and maxillary canine teeth pulp cavities in cats using micro-CT. The importance of understanding the endodontic system anatomy has been shown in multiple studies that demonstrate that canal geometry has a greater effect on enlargement and shaping than do the instrumentation techniques themselves.
