Location, incidence and clinical implications of the root canal isthmus
Root canal isthmus(RCI) is defined as a narrow, ribbon-shaped communication between two root canals that contains pulp or tissue derived from pulp. Any root that contains two or more root canals has the potential to contain an isthmus. The incidence of RCI from different tooth positions varies, with...

| description | Root canal isthmus(RCI) is defined as a narrow, ribbon-shaped communication between two root canals that contains pulp or tissue derived from pulp. Any root that contains two or more root canals has the potential to contain an isthmus. The incidence of RCI from different tooth positions varies, with the highest RCI incidences usually found in the mesial root of the mandibular first molar and the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar. The presence of RCI increases the difficulty of root canal therapy and introduces uncertainty regarding the prognosis for dental treatment. It is recommended to use CBCT and dental microscopy to identify teeth with suspected RCI in clinical practice. At the same time, for treatment of teeth with RCI, appropriate instruments should be selected, and enhanced root canal irrigation assisted by ultrasound should be considered to improve the success rate of root canal treatment and endodontic root-end surgery. The current technology still has some limitations regarding the cleaning and filling of RCI and additional research and development. Improvement of the corresponding technology and equipment is a current research hotspot and a future research direction |
