Comprehensive knowledge of the entire root canal system is an essential prerequisite for successful routine endodontic treatments. The internal and external morphological configurations of roots and root canals are quite complex. Thus, several classifications have been put forth by researchers to appropriately understand the distinguishable features of root and root canal systems of multirooted teeth. Until now, the researchers have proposed new classification systems for a thorough understanding of the root canal systems, mainly concentrating on the root canal anatomy and anomalies. Moreover, with the advent of newer digital imaging systems, these classifications are more reproducible and relevant. They have further gained importance for the clinicians by acting as an aid in decision-making based on evidence-based dentistry. However, these classifications are primarily focused on the root canals, but none have assessed the anatomy of the pulp chamber floor. This review article delineates a novel Pawar and Singh molar pulp chamber floor classification© for the anatomy of maxillary and mandibular molars to ease the clinician's skills and further increase the prevailing literature for the benefit of researchers.
全面了解整个根管系统是成功进行常规牙髓治疗的必要前提。牙根和根管的内部及外部形态结构相当复杂。因此,研究人员提出了几种分类方法,以便恰当地了解多根牙的牙根和根管系统的显著特征。到目前为止,研究人员已经提出了新的分类系统,用于深入了解根管系统,主要集中在根管解剖结构和异常情况。此外,随着更新的数字成像系统的出现,这些分类更具可重复性和相关性。它们通过作为基于循证牙科的决策辅助工具,对临床医生来说变得更加重要。然而,这些分类主要集中在根管上,没有一个评估过髓室底的解剖结构。这篇综述文章描述了一种新颖的帕瓦尔和辛格磨牙髓室底分类法,用于上颌和下颌磨牙的解剖结构,以提高临床医生的技能,并进一步增加现有文献,造福研究人员。
