Introduction: This review analyzes the increasing role
of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in dentistry and
its relevance in endodontics. Limits and new strategies
to develop MRI protocols for endodontic purposes are
reported and discussed. Methods: Eligible studies
were identified by searching the PubMed databases.
Only original articles on dental structures, anatomy,
and endodontics investigated by in vitro and
in vivo MRI were included in this review. Original articles
on MRI in dentistry not concerning anatomy and

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence, correlation, and differences of C-shaped canal morphology in mandibular premolars and molars by means of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: A total of 1433 mandibular premolars and molars CBCT scans from the Saudi population were evaluated. Axial sections of the roots were acquired at coronal, middle, and apical levels to evaluate C-shaped canals types. The prevalence, correlation, differences of C-shaped canals, bilateral/unilateral presence, gender differences, and location of external grooves on roots were assessed.
