Highlights

This study focuses on the evaluation of the number of root canals and 3D characteristics of root canal systems of the permanent second maxillary molars using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in Chennai, which are later compared with those in the Vertucci classification
A total of 100 Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images were collected from the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology at Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, Chennai, India, out of which, only 96 CBCT images were qualified for this study while the remaining 4 CBCT images did not fulfill the ideal criteria for the evaluation of root canal morphology based on Vertucci’s classification and other features of permanent maxillary second molars
The results obtained from the evaluation of root canal morphology and other features of the permanent maxillary second molar were tabulated in the form of descriptive analysis, which include mean value and standard deviation, followed by comparison of the results between males and females
