OBJECTIVETo find out the morphological regularity of root canal in the primary tooth.
METHODSThrough transparent specimen of a set of deciduous teeth, the shape of root canal was observed under stereomicroscope.
RESULTSAmong the deciduous anterior teeth, 92% were single canal except for one single-double mixed canal. Maxillary deci-duous molar had 3 canals and mandibular deciduous molar had 4 canals, lateral canal and anastomosis between the root canals were popular in deciduous molar.
CONCLUSIONDeciduous root canal morphology is simple in anterior teeth and comparatively complex in molar.
