Fifty two mandibular permanent canines were chosen to study the anatomy of the root canal. The experimental teeth were injected with China ink, decalcified, cleared and observed to investigate the number of root canals, frequency and location of lateral canals, the location of apical foramens, the frequency of apical deltas, and the curvature of root canals. The results were as follows: 1) all of the experimental teeth demonstrated single canal. 2) of the 52 canals, 9.6% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and the locations of the lateral canals were in the apical third of the roots 3) Thirty three apical foramens were located laterally on the root apices and nineteen foramens were located on the centers of the root apices. 4) 37 canals showed straight curvature, 12 canals distal curvature. 3 canals labial curvature.

Eighty-two maxillary canine were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared and used in a study, in vitro, to determine the number of root canals, the frequency and location of lateral canals, the location of apical foramens, and the curvature of root canals. The results were as follows; 1.All of the maxillary canines showed the single canals. 2. Of the 82 canals studied, 20.7% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and most ramification of them were located in the apical third of the root. 3. In the case of the curvature, the mesial curvature of the canals (40.3%) usually showed more than the distal curvature of them (13.4%) 4. 41.2% of the apical foramen were located directly on the root apex and 58.5% of them laterally.

The results were as follows: 1. Most of the teeth demonstrated single canal, but 22.5% of the teeth were found to have bifurcated or trifurcated canals. 2. Of the 99 canals studied, 37.3% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and these ramifications were usually located in the apical third of the root. 3. 27 apical foramens were located directly on the root apex and 66 foramens laterally. 4. 6 canals showed mesial curvature, 49 canals distal curvature, 11 canals buccal curvature, and 25 canals lingual curvature.

Thirty maxillary lateral incisors were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared and used in an in vitro study to determine the number of root canals, the frequency and location of lateral canals, the location of apical foramens, the frequency of apical deltas, and the curvature of root canals. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the teeth demonstrated single canal, but 6.7% of the teeth were found to have bifurcated canals. 2. Of the 32 canals studied, 37.5% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and these ramifications were usually located in the and apical third of the root. 3. 9 apical foramens were located directly on the root apex and 21 foramens laterally. 4. 3 canals showed mesial curvature, 20 canals distal curvature, 4 canals labial curvature, and 3 canals palatal curvature.

1. The author have had a case of class V and class Ⅲ combined carious lesion extended on to root surface of upper right lateral incisor. 2. The patient was 40 years old female. 3. After routine root canal treatment of the tooth, the gingival flap was made by vertical incision on gingival tissue between distal surface of upper right lateral incisor and mesial surface of upper right canine. 4. Cavity preparation and amalgam filling on the carious lesion were performed and the flap was sutured.

Anatomical and physiological studies of sink tissues are required for better understanding the biological plant growth system and energy metabolism Anatomy of root growth zones of two genotypes of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) receiving 50 or 200 ppm N were determined, Cross-sectional anatomy and cells responses of root growth zones were observed and examined. Rapid radial root expansion occurred within the first 1.0 mm from root apex, and then increased gradually for both genotypes and N levels. Another increase in diameter occurred at high N after cell elongation slowed near 3.0 mm. Area of the central cylinder cell increased rapidly near the root apex. However, it then decreased again about 1.0 to 1.5 mm from the apex, perhaps because of pressure from the rapid increase of root diameter due largely to an increasing proportion of cortex and epidermis or hypodermis in the distal portion of the root growth zone. Root area from the apical initial to 6.0 mm distal consisted of 10 to 18% epidermis or exodermis, 67 to 79% cortex, and 10 to 22% vascular cylinder cells containing cambium cells (6 to 20%) and xylem cells (0.8 to 2.5%). These data indicate that N application affects root growth radially by increasing mainly cortex cell area, with less effect on epidermis and central cylinder cells.

The purpose of this study was to compare the mesio-distal and vertical position of impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs with the labio-palatal position of impacted canines and root resorption of adjacent teeth on CBCT (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography). A total of 54 patients with 69 impacted maxillary canines were included in this study. On panoramic radiographs, the mesio-distal (Sector I - V), and vertical position, and angulation of impacted maxillary canines were evaluated. Labio-palatal position and root resorption of adjacent teeth were evaluated on CBCT. Labial impaction of canines was most frequent in panoramic sector I. Impaction within the arch was most frequent in sector I and II. Palatal impaction was most frequent in sector III, IV, and V. Mesially positioned canines on panoramic radiographs tended to be palatally impacted. Most of the root resorption of adjacent teeth occurred in sector III, IV, and V (p < 0.05). Canines with low angulation on panoramic radiographs tended to be palatally impacted and resorb the roots of adjacent teeth. The vertical position of impacted canines on panoramic radiographs was not statistically significant with respect to labio-palatal position and root resorption of adjacent teeth on CBCT. Analysis of the mesio-distal position and angulation of impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs can be used to predict the labio-palatal position of impacted canines and root resorption of adjacent teeth.

Er: YAG laser irradiation utilizing the newly developed RCLase side-firing spiral tip was used for the cleansing of root canals following their bio-mechanical preparation with ProTaper Ni-Ti files. The distal and palatal roots of 20 freshly extracted molar teeth were instrumented to size F3 with ProTaper files. In the experimental group (10 teeth) the pulp chamber and the root canals were filled with EDTA 17% and the root canals were lased for 30 s using the Er: YAG laser irradiation at 600 mJ per pulse and a frequency of 12 Hz. In the control group (10 teeth) the root canals were not lased. Scanning electron microscope analysis showed clean wall surfaces of the lased root canals with open dentinal tubules, free of smear layer and debris. In the scanning electron microscope photographs of the walls of the non-lased root canals a considerable amount of debris could be detected. It appears that an efficient cleansing of the root canal system can be achieved by using the Er: YAG laser irradiation with the RCLase Side-firing Spiral Tip following bio-mechanical preparation of the root canal with Ni-Ti Taper files.
