Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate endodontically treated two-rooted maxillary first premolar teeth in terms of missing canal.
Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, 336 cone-beam computed tomography images were analyzed by two endodontists for the presence of missing canals. The presence of missing canals was first evaluated in the axial plane and then confirmed in other planes. For each tooth, the gender, age, tooth number and localization of the missing canal were recorded. The data obtained from the study were given by frequency and percentage analysis for categorical variables. The chi-square test was used to evaluate proportional differences, with a significance level of p value <0.05.
Results: In 41 (12.2%) of the examined teeth, there were missing canals. There was no statistical difference between the position of the teeth in the oral cavity and the buccal or palatal root in terms of the presence of missing canals in the maxillary first premolars (p>0.05). Missing canals were mostly on the palatal side in women and on the buccal side in men.
Conclusion: There is no relationship between the presence of a missing canal in the maxillary first premolar teeth and its presence in the buccal or palatal root and its location in the oral cavity.

Kanal Tedavisi Görmüş Maksiller Birinci Premolar Dişlerde Bulunamayan Kanalların Konik Işınlı Bilgisayarlı Tomografi ile İncelenmesi

Öz

Amaç: Mevcut çalışma, endodontik tedavi görmüş iki köklü maksiller birinci premolar dişleri bulunamayan kanal açısından değerlendirmeyi hedefledi.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmada 336 konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüsü iki endodonti uzmanı tarafından bulunamayan kanal varlığı yönünden ilk önce aksiyal düzlemde değerlendirildi ve sonra diğer düzlemlerde doğrulandı. Her bir diş için, dişin ait olduğu kişinin cinsiyeti, yaşı, diş numarası ve bulunamayan kanalın lokalizasyonu kaydedildi. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler kategorik değişkenler için frekans ve yüzde analizi ile verildi. Anlamlılık seviyesi p değeri <0.05 olarak belirlenerek orantısal farklılıkları değerlendirmek için ki-kare testi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: İncelenen dişlerin 41 tanesinde (%12.2) bulunamayan kanal vardı. Maksiller birinci premolar dişlerde, bulunamayan kanal varlığı açısından dişlerin ağız içindeki konumu ve bukkal veya palatal kök arasında istatistiksel bir fark bulunmadı (p>0.05). Bulunamayan kanallar daha çok kadınlarda palatinal ve erkeklerde bukkal taraftaydı.
Sonuç: Maksiller birinci premolar dişlerde bulunamayan kanal varlığı ile bukkal veya palatal kökte olması veya ağızdaki yerleşimi arasında bir ilişki bulunamadı.
