“Variantes anatómicas radiculares, revisión de la literatura”

Abstract

Introduction: The anatomical variants are those characteristics that should be considered at the time of dental treatment; they are not considered pathologies since they do not interfere with the functionality of the dental organ. Objective: To determine the different variants at the radicular and morphological level of the dental pieces and the classification according to Vertucci. Materials and Methods: A bibliographic search was carried out in search engines such as PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and Google Scholar using keywords such as: (Vertucci, Anatomical variants, Root canal system) in Spanish, and (shaped in C, Cone beam, Computed Tomography, root, and canal) in English. A total of 102 articles were found , and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 50 articles were obtained for the study. Conclusion: Root anatomical variants are common findings that can present a wide range of shapes and characteristics in human dentition. These variations can have important clinical implications ; it is crucial that endodontic practitioners are familiar with them for accurate and effective treatment.
