Morphological features of obliterated root canal system

Throughout life, there are changes in the root canal system associated with age or under the influence of other external factors, leading to subsequent obliteration of the pulp. Ideas about the morphological changes of the pulp are of great practical importance. It is shown that the morphology of the pulp varies throughout the root depending on obliteration, while the lumen of the channel is preserved. Given the variability of the root canal system, the dentist should conduct an x-ray examination. On the basis of radiological data, it can be concluded that obliteration of the root canal occurs throughout its entire length. This fact should be taken into account when choosing a method for endodontic treatment of teeth.
