Fifty two human mandibular second molars were chosen to study the anatomy of the root canal. The experimental teeth were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared and used in study, in vitro, to determine the number of root, the number of root canals, canals per root, frequency and location of transverse anastomoses, frequency and location of lateral canals and frequency of the apical deltas. The results were as follows; 1. Most of the teeth showed three canals, but 19.2% of the teeth were found to have two canals and 9.6% of them four canals. 2. In so far as observing two canals per root, 80.8% of the teeth were found to have two canals in mesial root and 9.6% of them in distal canal. 3. In roots with, two canals, the seperated apical foramen appeared in 59.5% in mesial side and 40.0% in distal side, and the common apical foramen appeared in 40.5% in mesial side and 60.0% in distal side. 4. Of the two root canals in one root, 36.2% of the canals were found to have transverse anastomoses and were usually located in the apical third of the root. 5. 23.1% of 52 teeth were found to have lateral canals, and ramifications were mainly located in the apical third of the root.

Eighty four human maxillary second premolars were injected with china. ink, decalcified, cleared and used in study, in vitro, to determine the number of root canals, the frequency and location of lateral canals, the frequency and location of transverse ansatomoses, the curvature of root canals, the location of apical foramens, and the frequency of apical deltas. The results were as follows: 1. Most of the teeth demonstrated one canals, but the only tooth was found to have two canal. 2. Of the 101 canals studied, 85.1% of the canals were found to have lateral canals and these ramifications were usually located in the apical third of the root. 3. Of the two root canals in one root, 25.4% of the canals were found to have transverse anastomoses and were usually located in the middle third of the root 4. 33.3% of apical foramens were located directly on the root apex and 66.7% of them laterally, and 46.5% of canals showed distal curvature.

Thirty seven human maxillary third mooars were injected with china ink, decalcified, cleared, and used in vitro study to determine the number of root canals the frequency and location of lateral canals, canals per root, and frequency of apical deltas. The results were as follows: 1. Less than half of the examined teeth showed 3 roots and 3 canals. 2. The mesiobuccal root was ound to contain a single primary canal in 65.4% of the teeth examined and two canals in 34.6% of the teeth studed. 3. In mesiobuccal roots with two canals, the separated apical foramen appeared 30.8% of the specimen concerned, but no common apical foramen appeared. 4. Of the 106 canals studied, 46.2% of the canals were found to contain lateral canals and these ramifications were mainly located in the apical third of the root.

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.
