Tooth Morphology 2009
Objectives and Goals
- be familiar with the various canal configurations of each permanent tooth type.
- be familiar with the relationship of external morphology and internal morphology.
- be more aware of "abnormal" morphologic situations.
- develop a rationale for treatment planning (retreatment, surgery, etc.)
