Abstract
Objetivo: Este estudio determinó la prevalencia de un segundo conducto radicular en
incisivos mandibulares en una población adulta peruana mediante el uso de tomografía
computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT). Materiales y métodos: Se analizaron 285
tomografías que proporcionan un total de 1140 vistas. Resultados: Los resultados
mostraron que el 93.5% de las piezas estudiadas presentaron conducto tipo I y el 6.5%
presentó conducto tipo IV. Según piezas dentarias, el 8.4% de los incisivos laterales y el
4.6% de los incisivos centrales presentaron conducto tipo IV. Conclusiones: Estos
hallazgos resaltan la importancia de realizar un análisis exhaustivo de la anatomía dental
previa al tratamiento endodóntico, especialmente en poblaciones con alta prevalencia de
variaciones anatómicas, para evitar el fracaso del tratamiento. La CBCT demostró ser una
herramienta valiosa para la evaluación de la morfología interna de los dientes antes de la
terapia endodóntica.
Objective: This study determined the prevalence of a second root canal in mandibular incisors in a Peruvian adult population through the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods: 285 tomograms were analyzed, providing a total of 1140 views. Results: The results showed that 93.5% of the studied pieces had type I canal and 6.5% had type IV canal. According to teeth, 8.4% of the lateral incisors and 4.6% of the central incisors had type IV canal. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of performing a thorough analysis of dental anatomy prior to endodontic treatment, especially in populations with a high prevalence of anatomical variations, to avoid treatment failure. CBCT proved to be a valuable tool for the evaluation of internal tooth morphology before endodontic therapy.
