Introduction
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
“A thorough understanding of the complexity of the
root canal system is essential for understanding
the principles and problems of shaping and
cleaning, for determining the apical limits and
dimensions of canal preparations, and for
performing successful microsurgical procedures”

Data generated from classical studies demonstrated that the complexity of the
internal and external anatomy of teeth required the creation of a classification system.
Introduction
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
Weine et al. (1969) were the first authors to categorize root canal configurations within a single root.
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1969
Sep;28(3):419-25
Type I
(1-1)
Type II
(2-1)
Type III
(2-2)
Type IV
(1-2)
Later, Weine (1982) added an
additional type to his system.
Using Roman numbers, configurations were
classified into 3 types according to the pattern of
division of the main root canal along its course
from the pulp chamber to the root apex.

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1974 Sep;38(3):456-64.
Using Roman numbers, authors reported a
total of 8 configuration types according to
the pattern of division of the main root
canal along its course from the pulp
chamber to the root apex
Introduction
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
Despite these efforts to systematically describe the diversity of canal
configurations, additional types of canal morphologies have been reported in
different populations.
Introduction
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
Recently, based on previous reports and anatomical studies using micro-CT technology,
Versiani & Ordinola-Zapata (2015) were able to identify 37 types of root canal configuration.
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
In summary, the most used
classification systems are
unable to categorize the
diversity of root canal
configurations as reported in
the literature.
Introduction
Aim
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
Therefore, the purpose of this work is to
present a practical system that allows
students/trainees, clinicians and researchers
to classify root and root canal configurations
using any diagnostic method, regardless of
their accuracy and reliability.
Methodology
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
• Root canal curvature (Schneider 1971, Pruett et al. 1997)
• Canal bifurcation and root fusion (Vertucci 2005)
• Accessory canals and apical ramifications (De Deus 1975)
• Dens invaginatus (Oehlers 1957)
• C-shaped canals (Melton et al. 1991, Fan et al. 2004, Kato et al. 2014)
• Taurodontism (Shaw 1928, Jafarzadeh et al. 2008)
• Supernumerary roots (Christie et al. 1991, Carlsen & Alexandersen 2000,
Song et al. 2010)
• And others
Exclusion Criteria
Literature already has many comprehensive classifications categorizing several morphological
aspects and developmental anomalies of the teeth. Therefore, this proposal system does not
include the following anatomical variations in the root and root canal system:
Despite such information could be useful, the benefits of any new system must be the
simplicity, so that it can be adopted universally!
Classification System
Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
This system includes codes for 3 components:
TN
Tooth Number
RNumber of Roots O-C-F Root Canal
Configuration
The canal configuration is
identified according to the
number of...
Orifice(s)
Canal System
Foramen (Foramina)
Tooth number can be written using any numbering system
(e.g. universal numbering system, Palmer Notation Numbering System or the FDI World Dental Federation System)

Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International
The new proposed classification attempts to provide a simple,
accurate and practical system that allows students, dental
practitioners and researchers to classify root and root canal
configurations. It provides detailed information on the tooth
number, number of roots and root canal configuration types,
whilst excluding developmental anomalies and minor canal
anatomy to pave the way for simplicity and universal adoption.

New Root Canal Classification System

  • 1. Dr Hany M. A. Ahmed Department of Conservative Dentistry, School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia Dr Marco A. Versiani Department of Restorative Dentistry, Dental School of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil Dr Gustavo De-Deus Department of Endodontics, School of Dentistry, Federal Fluminense University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Dr Paul M. H. Dummer School of Dentistry, College of Biomedical and Life Sciences, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK
  • 2. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International “A thorough understanding of the complexity of the root canal system is essential for understanding the principles and problems of shaping and cleaning, for determining the apical limits and dimensions of canal preparations, and for performing successful microsurgical procedures”
  • 3. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International CARABELLI (1842) MUHLREITER (1870) BLACK (1890) GYSI (1892) PREISWERCK (1901) FISHER (1907) DEWEY (1916)FASOLI (1913) HESS (1917) PUCCI & REIG (1944) DE DEUS (1960) Data generated from classical studies demonstrated that the complexity of the internal and external anatomy of teeth required the creation of a classification system.
  • 4. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Weine et al. (1969) were the first authors to categorize root canal configurations within a single root. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1969 Sep;28(3):419-25 Type I (1-1) Type II (2-1) Type III (2-2) Type IV (1-2) Later, Weine (1982) added an additional type to his system. Using Roman numbers, configurations were classified into 3 types according to the pattern of division of the main root canal along its course from the pulp chamber to the root apex.
  • 5. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1974 Sep;38(3):456-64. In 1974, Vertucci et al. identified more complex canal systems in the study of 200 maxillary second premolars using the clearing technique
  • 6. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1974 Sep;38(3):456-64. Using Roman numbers, authors reported a total of 8 configuration types according to the pattern of division of the main root canal along its course from the pulp chamber to the root apex
  • 7. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Despite these efforts to systematically describe the diversity of canal configurations, additional types of canal morphologies have been reported in different populations.
  • 8. Introduction Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Recently, based on previous reports and anatomical studies using micro-CT technology, Versiani & Ordinola-Zapata (2015) were able to identify 37 types of root canal configuration.
  • 9. Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International In summary, the most used classification systems are unable to categorize the diversity of root canal configurations as reported in the literature. Introduction
  • 10. Aim Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International Therefore, the purpose of this work is to present a practical system that allows students/trainees, clinicians and researchers to classify root and root canal configurations using any diagnostic method, regardless of their accuracy and reliability.
  • 11. Methodology Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International • Root canal curvature (Schneider 1971, Pruett et al. 1997) • Canal bifurcation and root fusion (Vertucci 2005) • Accessory canals and apical ramifications (De Deus 1975) • Dens invaginatus (Oehlers 1957) • C-shaped canals (Melton et al. 1991, Fan et al. 2004, Kato et al. 2014) • Taurodontism (Shaw 1928, Jafarzadeh et al. 2008) • Supernumerary roots (Christie et al. 1991, Carlsen & Alexandersen 2000, Song et al. 2010) • And others Exclusion Criteria Literature already has many comprehensive classifications categorizing several morphological aspects and developmental anomalies of the teeth. Therefore, this proposal system does not include the following anatomical variations in the root and root canal system: Despite such information could be useful, the benefits of any new system must be the simplicity, so that it can be adopted universally!
  • 12. Classification System Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International This system includes codes for 3 components: TN Tooth Number RNumber of Roots O-C-F Root Canal Configuration The canal configuration is identified according to the number of... Orifice(s) Canal System Foramen (Foramina) Tooth number can be written using any numbering system (e.g. universal numbering system, Palmer Notation Numbering System or the FDI World Dental Federation System)
  • 13. Classification System Ahmed HMA, Versiani MA, De-Deus G, Dummer PMH. A new system for classifying root and root canal morphology. International TN Tooth Number RNumber of Roots O-C-F Root Canal Configuration The canal configuration (O- C-F) is represented by the continuous course of the Root Canal from the Orifice... Orifice(s) Canal System Foramen (Foramina) ...to the Foramen . 1 2 1 Canal Configuration = 1-2-1
