Abstract:
Lateral canals are small branches from the main root canal, usually extending from the dentin and cementum into the periodontal ligament, mostly located at the lower 1/3 of the apical portion. Due to the complex and varied anatomical morphology as well as the high incidence, it becomes an important factor affecting the effect of root canal therapy and a difficult point in this process. It is of great clinical significance to master the treatment strategy of lateral canals during root canal therapy. This article reviews the anatomical characteristics of lateral canals, as well as the clinical identification, treatment strategy and the laboratory detection methods of lateral canals in the process of root canal preparation, disinfection, and obturation.
