Knowledge of root and canal morphology is essential for the effective practice of root canal treatment. Paediatric endodontics aims to preserve fully functional primary teeth in the dental arch; however, pulpectomy procedures in bizarre and tortuous canals encased in roots programmed for physiologic resorption are unique challenges. A new coding system for classifying the roots and main canals (https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12685), accessory canals (https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12800) and developmental anomalies (https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12867) has been introduced recently. This paper discusses challenges for describing root and canal morphology in primary teeth and describes the potential application of the new classification system for root canals in the primary dentition.
了解根管和牙根形态对于根管治疗的有效实施至关重要。儿童牙髓病学旨在保留牙弓中完全功能性的乳牙；然而，在生理性吸收的牙根中，位于形态奇异和弯曲根管内的牙髓切除术程序是独特的挑战。最近引入了一种新的分类系统，用于对牙根和主根管（https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12685）、副根管（https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12800）和发育异常（https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.12867）进行分类。本文讨论了描述乳牙根管和牙根形态的挑战，并描述了新的分类系统在儿童乳牙根管中的潜在应用。
