- Abstract
This study aimed to compare the main root canal configurations of mandibular incisors (MI) in a Brazilian population using Vertucci and Ahmed et al. classifications. One hundred and sixty‐five human permanent MI were scanned using a micro‐CT. Two examiners classified the samples according to Vertucci and Ahmed et al. classification. Kappa coefficient was employed. The majority of MI had a single root canal (52.1%). Type III Vertucci and 1MI1‐2‐1 Ahmed et al. was the most common 2‐canal MI (20%). In the apical third, the presence of one, two and three canals was found in 81.8%, 15.2% and 3% respectively. In the cervical and middle thirds, one, two and three canals were found in 86%, 12.2% and 1.8% respectively. Ahmed et al. classification was able to classify the entire sample studied, whereas 11 teeth (6.66%) did not fit Vertucci's classification.
