A bstract — Variations in the form and number of root canals are greater in the mesial roots and in some specimens the mesial root was divided into two. The main variations show multiple canals with subdivisions and communications frequently with one common apical foramen. Little difference was noted between root canals in young teeth and those in heavily worn mature teeth.
