Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinician should have complete knowledge of the normal anatomy of the root as well as complexities in the root canal configuration for a better outcome, as missed or improper handling of the canal system can lead to the failure of an entire endodontic procedure. The present study aims to assess the morphology of roots and canals in permanent mandibular premolars in the Saudi subpopulation with a new classification system. METHODS The present study includes 1230 mandibular premolars (645 first premolars and 585-second premolars) from 500 CBCT images of the patients, including retrospective data. iCAT scanner system (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, PA, USA) was used to obtain the images; scanning of 8 × 8 cm images was performed at 120 KVp and 5-7 mA with a voxel size of 0.2 mm. The new method of classification presented by Ahmed et al. 2017 was used to record and classify the root canal morphology, followed by recording the differences regarding the age and gender of the patients. Comparison of canal morphology in lower permanent premolars and its association with gender and age of the patients was done by Chi-square test/ Fisher exact test; the significance level was set at 5% (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS The left mandibular 1st and 2nd premolars with one root were 47.31%, with two roots were 2.19%. However, three roots (0.24%) and C-shaped canals (0.24%) were reported only in the left mandibular 2nd premolar. The right mandibular 1st and 2nd premolars with one root were 47.56%, with two roots were 2.03%. The overall percentage of the number of roots and canals in the first and second premolars 1 PM 1 (88.38%), 2 PM 1 B 1 L 1 (3.5%), 2 PM B 1 L 1 (0.65%), 1 PM 1-2-1 (3.08%), 1 PM 1-2 (3.17%), 1 PM 1-2-1-2 (0.24%), 3 PMMB 1 DB 1 L1 (0.48%). However, the C-shaped canals (0.40%) were reported in right and left mandibular second premolars. No statistically significant difference was reported between mandibular premolars and gender. A statistically significant difference was reported between mandibular premolars and the age of the study subjects. CONCLUSION Type I (1 TN 1) was the major root canal configuration in permanent mandibular premolars, which was higher among males. The CBCT imaging provides thorough details about the root canal morphology of lower premolars. These findings could support diagnosis, decision-making, and root canal treatment, for dental professionals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rehabilitation of endodontically treated premolars with extensive coronal destruction through endocrown approach remains a controversial topic in reconstructive dentistry. There is no clear consensus in the literature which endocrown design with which material is the most effective restoration option for severely-destructed endodontically treated premolars. The aim of this study was to assess the biomechanical behavior of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars restored with a novel endocrown system compared to the conventional one varying the applied load type through finite element and in vitro analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS For finite element analysis, two models representing two endocrown systems used for restoration of severely-destructed endodontically treated maxillary first premolar tooth were generated: Model C for the conventional monolithic IPS e.max CAD endocrown and Model P for the novel bi-layered endocrown (PEKKTON ivory coping veneered with cemented IPS e.max CAD). Modified von Mises stress values on the remaining tooth structure, cement lines and restorative materials were evaluated separately under axial and oblique loading of 450 N. For in vitro analysis, forty sound human bifurcated maxillary first premolars were collected, endodontically-treated, and divided into 2 main groups (n = 20) according to the system used for endocrown fabrication; Group C: the conventional monolithic endocrowns and Group P: the novel bi-layered endocrowns. All specimens were subjected to an artificial thermomechanical aging protocol. Each main group was subdivided into two subgroups (n = 10) according to the loading type (axial and oblique) applied during the fracture resistance test. Qualitative analysis using Stereomicroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy was performed. Data were statistically analyzed at p-value ≤ 0.05. RESULTS Regarding stress distribution pattern of remaining tooth structure (enamel and dentin), both endocrown systems and cement lines under both axial and oblique load application, Model P resulted in lower stresses than Model C. The oblique stress values of all analyzed structures were higher than corresponding values resulted axially. Considering failure load, a significantly higher load was recorded for Group P when axial or oblique loading was applied (p = 0.00). A significantly higher failure load was recorded with axial loading for both main groups. With regard to failure mode, a statistically significant difference was observed between main groups (p = 0.033), with more favorable failures detected for Group P axially. CONCLUSIONS Compared to the conventional endocrown system, the studied novel system improved the biomechanical behavior within tooth/restoration complex of the restored severely-destructed endodontically treated maxillary first premolar teeth, whatever the applied load type. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The novel endocrown system using a PEKK coping veneered with cemented IPS e.max CAD can be considered a favorable promising option for restoration of severely-destructed endodontically treated premolar teeth, with more protection for residual tooth structure. It can be considered as a conservative alternative option to the conventional treatment modalities not only for normal clinical conditions, but also for parafunctional cases.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the fatigue survival and fracture behavior of endodontically treated (ET) premolars restored with different types of post-core and cuspal coverage restorations. Materials and methods MOD cavities were prepared on 108 extracted maxillary premolars. During the endodontic treatment, all teeth were instrumented with rotary files (ProTaper Universal) to the same apical enlargement (F2) and were obturated with a matched single cone obturation. After the endodontic procedure, the cavities were restored with different post-core and overlay restorations (n = 12/group). Three groups (A1–A3) were restored with either conventional composite core (PFC; control) or flowable short-fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) core with/without custom-made fiber posts and without overlays. Six groups had similar post-core foundations as described above but with either direct PFC (B1–B3) or indirect CAD/CAM (C1–C3) overlays. Fatigue survival was tested for all restorations using a cyclic loading machine until fracture occurred or 50,000 cycles were completed. Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis was conducted, followed by pairwise post hoc comparisons. Results None of the restored teeth survived all 50,000. Application of flowable SFRC as luting-core material with fiber post and CAD/CAD overlays (Group C3) showed superior performance regarding fatigue survival (p < 0.05) to all the other groups. Flowable SFRC with fiber post and direct overlay (Group B3) showed superior survival compared to all other direct techniques (p < 0.05), except for the same post-core foundation but without cuspal coverage (Group A3). Conclusions Custom-made fiber post and SFRC as post luting core material with or without cuspal coverage performed well in terms of fatigue resistance and survival when used for the restoration of ET premolars. Clinical relevance The fatigue survival of direct and indirect cuspal coverage restorations in ET MOD premolars is highly dependent on whether the core build-up is fiber-reinforced or not. The combination of short and long fibers in the form of individualized post-cores seems to offer a favorable solution in this situation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To date, there is no clear consensus in the literature which endocrown design with which material is the most effective treatment option to restore endodontically treated maxillary premolars with extensive loss of tooth structure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution pattern and failure probability of maxillary first premolars restored with a novel endocrown system compared to the conventional one by means of Finite Element and Weibull analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two finite element (FE) models representing two endocrown systems used for restoration of severely-destructed endodontically treated maxillary first premolar tooth were generated: model C for the conventional monolithic IPS e.max CAD endocrown and model P for the novel bi-layered endocrown (PEKKTON ivory coping veneered with cemented IPS e.max CAD). A static occlusal compressive load was axially and centrally-applied. Modified von Mises and maximum principal stress values on the remaining tooth structure, cement lines and restorative materials were evaluated separately. Weibull function was incorporated with FE analysis to calculate the long term failure probability. RESULTS Regarding stresses occurred in the remaining tooth structure (enamel and dentin), model P transmitted less stresses than model C. The individual enamel of model C showed about 5% and 40% risk of failure at normal and maximum occlusal load values, respectively, while for model P, it had no failure risk at both values. For dentin, model C showed about 13% failure risk at the normal masticatory force, while model P showed only 2%. At clenching value, model C dentin showed about 44% failure risk, while only 9% was resulted for model P. CONCLUSIONS Compared to the conventional endocrown system, the positive impact of the studied novel endocrown system on the stress distribution pattern and also on the survival/failure probability of the restored severely-destructed endodontically treated maxillary first premolar teeth was reflected (more tooth-friendly), not only at normal masticatory forces but also at the maximum functional loads. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The novel endocrown system using a PEKK coping veneered with cemented IPS e.max CAD can be considered a favorable option for restoration of severely-destructed endodontically treated premolar teeth, with more protection for residual tooth structure. Despite the conventional endocrown system may benefit the durability of tooth bonding, it should not be selected for restoration of clenching cases because of the too high overall failure risk.

Abstract
In-depth knowledge of common and aberrant pulp morphology is essential for appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning prior to commencing root canal treatment. Radicular morphology of mandibular premolars has been extensively studied. Considerable variation in the number of canals and roots found in these teeth has been reported. Aim The purpose of this study is to investigate the root and root canal morphology of mandibular first premolar among Saudi Arabian subpopulation in Aseer using CBCT. Methods Cone-beam computed tomography images of Mandibular first premolar were taken from 166 patients which were referred to Armed Forces Hospitals Southern Region (AFHSR), Khamis Mushayt, Asir region Saudi Arabia. All the images were assessed by two Evaluators (An Endodontist and a Radiologist). Inter-examiner reliability was determined and was assessed by KAPPA value. Results The mandibular first premolar (n = 216) distributed as 120 teeth in female and 96 teeth in male. Out of the 120 teeth examined in female groups one canal was seen in 95 (79.2%) teeth, two canals in 19 (15.8%) teeth and three canals in 6 (5%) teeth where as in the Male group out of 96 teeth, 52 (54.1%) teeth showed one canal, 32 (33.3%) teeth with two canals whereas 12 (12.5%) teeth showed presence of three canals. Chi-Square test for mandibular first premolars demonstrated the chance of second canal in the mandibular first premolar more in male than female and these differences was statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion Endodontic therapy of mandibular premolars is a challenge for clinician because of their frequent morphological and anatomical abnormalities. Proper knowledge about number of root canals and canal configuration is a key to success in Endodontic. There is a great variability in different population regarding the root canal configuration in mandibular pre-molars. However, most studies state the mandibular first premolar has one root canal. Also, the most prevalent type of root canal found was Type I vertucci.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture strength of endodontically treated human maxillary premolars (ETP) restored with posts and metal ceramic (MC) or monolithic zirconia (MZ) crowns. Sixty ETP were randomly divided into 3 groups. Teeth in control group (C) received a resin filling. ETP in the MC group were restored with prefabricated metal posts, composite cores and MC crowns while in the MZ group with glass-fiber posts, composite cores and MZ crowns. Half of the specimens were loaded at a 135° angle and half under axial loading until fracture. The fracture modes were divided in repairable and irreparable using optical microscopy. Mean fracture strength was significantly higher for MC than for MZ crowns and control group only under axial loading. The distribution of repairable and irreparable failures presented no significant differences. Crown placement significantly improved the fracture strength of ETP irrespectively of post and crown type.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and distribution of premature eruption and agenesis of premolars in a sample of Turkish children. STUDY DESIGN A sample of 1715 patients aged 5 to 11 years was selected. Panoramic radiographs were used to assess premature eruption and agenesis of premolars. Developmental stage of erupted premolars was assessed using Demirjian's method and selecting prematurely erupted premolars on the basis of clinical eruption with a root length less than half of their final expected root lengths. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test (p <.05). RESULTS One hundred fifteen (6.7%) of 1715 patients presented at least one premolar agenesis with no significant sex difference (56 boys, 59 girls). Mandibular second premolars were the most absent teeth. Multiple agenesis of premolars (3.4%) was more common than single agenesis (3.3%). A total of 85 (5.0%) patients (51 boys, 34 girls; no significant sex difference) had at least one prematurely erupted premolar, and maxillary first premolars were most commonly affected. Early erupted premolars were in stage D or E based on Demirjian's dental formation scale. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of premature eruption and agenesis of premolars in Turkish children were 5.0% and 6.7%, respectively. Both conditions are not uncommon and may highlight the need for early diagnosis to prevent subsequent clinical problems.

Abstract
AIMS In premolars and molars, transverse ridge (TR) and oblique ridge (OR) play major roles in providing strength and stability to the cusps in particular and tooth as a whole. Hence, they could be divided at the central groove or the transverse groove in a divine golden ratio. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty pairs of maxillary and mandibular casts were retrieved from the Department of Orthodontics. The lengths of buccal triangular ridge (BTR), lingual triangular ridge (LTR) and TR of maxillary and mandibular first and second premolars were measured. Similarly, lengths of distal cuspal ridge of mesiopalatal cusp, triangular ridge of distobuccal cusp (DBTR) and OR of the maxillary first and second molars were measured using a brass wire and a Vernier caliper. The TR:BTR, BTR:LTR, OR:distal ridge of mesiopalatal cusp (MPDR), and MPDR:DBTR ratios were calculated to find out the possibility of golden ratio. RESULTS Transverse ridges of the premolars and OR of the maxillary first and second molars were divided at the central groove in a divine golden ratio. The mean TR/BTR ratio for maxillary first premolar was 1.61 ± 0.007, whereas the mean BTR/LTR ratio was 1.63 ± 0.02. The mean TR/BTR ratio for maxillary second premolar was 1.61 ± 0.01, whereas the mean BTR/LTR ratio was 1.62 ± 0.04. The TR/BTR and BTR/LTR ratios for mandibular first premolar were 1.6 ± 0.008 and 1.64 ± 0.02, respectively. Similarly, the mean TR/BTR ratio for mandibular second premolar was 1.61 ± 0.01, whereas the mean BTR/LTR ratio was 1.63 ± 0.02. CONCLUSION The ORs of maxillary first molar ridge and TR of maxillary and mandibular premolars are divided into two parts at transverse and central grooves, respectively, in a divine ratio. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The ORs of maxillary first molar ridge and TR of maxillary and mandibular premolars are divided into two parts at transverse and central grooves, respectively, in a divine ratio. This signifies the strength and stability of the occlusal table in the posterior teeth, as the golden ratio is the mark of functional excellence. Golden ratio should be taken into consideration while restoration or fabrication of the posterior teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of spectrophotometric shade determination of premolars and to compare the results with those for incisors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-seven participants with natural maxillary incisors and premolars were recruited to investigate the research question. The colour of test teeth (incisors, n = 210; premolars, n = 192) was measured by use of the Vita Easyshade Advance (ES-A) and Vita Easyshade V (ES-V). Accuracy was evaluated by rating the shade tab matches recommended by the devices (scale, 1 = excellent match to 3 = mismatch). Inter-device reliability between the ES-A and ES-V for measurement of incisors and premolars was evaluated using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). The ratings for the accuracy of the devices were analysed using descriptive and bivariate statistics. A linear regression model was used to evaluate possible independent influencing confounders on the shade match. RESULTS Inter-device agreement of the ES-A and ES-V for measurement of incisors and premolars was excellent for all colour components (ICC > 0.9). The accuracy of both devices was acceptable to excellent for incisors and premolars, although the ES-V was more accurate than the ES-A (p < 0.001). No significant difference in accuracy was detected between premolars and incisors (p = 0.182). The linear regression model confirmed the bivariate testing. CONCLUSIONS The reliability and accuracy of spectrophotometric shade determination seem comparable for incisors and premolars. The recently introduced ES-V seems more accurate than its predecessor model. Further studies are needed to validate the results of this study.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the morphological changes of root canals in maxillary second premolars at various ages by using cone-beam CT (CBCT) in order to provide imaging and theoretical reference for clinical treatments. Methods: The digital CBCT data of the maxillary second premolars in 440 cases from the patients in Department of Stomatology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University during March 2011 and December 2017 were collected. The CBCT images were divided into 4 groups according to the patients' ages: groups ≤20, 21-40, 41-60 and>60 years old, respectively. Changes of morphologies of root canals with aging including such parameters as types of the root canal, incidence of double root canals in single rooted teeth, distance between both root canal orifices of double rooted canals, and morphological change of the cross section of roots. Chi-square test and liner trend test were adopted in statistical analysis in the present study. Results: Most maxillary second premolars had only one root [95.2% (419/440)]. Type Ⅰ of the root canals was the most common type [57.3% (252/440)], and the following prevalent groups were type Ⅱ[16.8% (74/440)], type Ⅳ [10.2% (45/440)] and type Ⅲ [8.9% (39/440)]. The distribution of type Ⅰ~Ⅳ of the root canals were significantly different amongst various aged groups (P<0.05). Along with aging, the percentages of type Ⅰ decreased while type Ⅱ increased. However, there were no remarkable changes of type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ observed. The incidence of double canal in single rooted teeth gradually increased with aging especially in 20-year-old and above groups, e.g. 13.1% (13/99) in group of ≤20 years old and 45.0% (86/191) in group of 21-40 years old. However, there was no significant increase observed after the age of 40. The distance between two root canal orifices of double rooted canals became shorter with aging except in groups of 40-year-old and above. The morphologies of the cross sections of root canals in most groups were flat shaped [57.8% (1 121/1 938)] and oval shape [31.3% (607/1 938)]. Along with aging, the percentage of circular shape gradually increased while flat and oval shapes decreased. Conclusions: The morphology of root canal could be clearly showed by the CBCT images. Most maxillary second premolars had only one root and one apical foramen. Along with aging, the morphology of the root canals became more and more complicated.

Abstract
In apes, the mandibular third premolar (P3) is adapted for a role in honing the large upper canine. The role of honing was lost early in hominin evolution, releasing the tooth from this functional constraint and allowing it to respond to subsequent changes in masticatory demands. This led to substantial morphological changes, and as such the P3 has featured prominently in systematic analyses of the hominin clade. The application of microtomography has also demonstrated that examination of the enamel-dentine junction (EDJ) increases the taxonomic value of variations in crown morphology. Here we use geometric morphometric techniques to analyze the shape of the P3 EDJ in a broad sample of fossil hominins, modern humans, and extant apes (n = 111). We test the utility of P3 EDJ shape for distinguishing among hominoids, address the affinities of a number of hominin specimens of uncertain taxonomic attribution, and characterize the changes in P3 EDJ morphology across our sample, with particular reference to features relating to canine honing and premolar 'molarization'. We find that the morphology of the P3 EDJ is useful in taxonomic identification of individual specimens, with a classification accuracy of up to 88%. The P3 EDJ of canine-honing apes displays a tall protoconid, little metaconid development, and an asymmetrical crown shape. Plio-Pleistocene hominin taxa display derived masticatory adaptations at the EDJ, such as the molarized premolars of Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus, which have well-developed marginal ridges, an enlarged talonid, and a large metaconid. Modern humans and Neanderthals display a tall dentine body and reduced metaconid development, a morphology shared with premolars from Mauer and the Cave of Hearths. Homo naledi displays a P3 EDJ morphology that is unique among our sample; it is quite unlike Middle Pleistocene and recent Homo samples and most closely resembles Australopithecus, Paranthropus and early Homo specimens.

Abstract
Objectives Maxillary sinus pneumatization (MSP), is linked worldwide to number of factors. MSP measurements and assessment alongside potential correlates in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia (SA) awaits identification. Materials and methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Taibah University Dental-College and Hospital, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah; SA. The analysis included 700 female patients digital Orthopantomogram (OPG), of which 535 (76%) OPGs were usable. MSP was established according to the distance between the maxillary sinus floor and posterior teeth apices number 15, 16, 17, 18, 25, 26, 27 and 28. MSP categorized as followed: Sever MSP (Category I), Moderate MSP (Category II) and No MSP/normal (Category III). Descriptive statistics, and inferential analysis were carried out. Results Mean age of the patients was 30.11 (±10.26) and 290 (54.5%) were Saudi nationals. Severe pneumatization (category I) was prominent in the right and left first and second molars, 16, 26, 17, 27 (66%, 64%, 63% and 62%, respectively). A statistically significant difference (P < 0.0005) was observed between pneumatization categories in all sites. Furthermore, the impact of young age on levels of MSP was statistically significant (P < 0.05) on most teeth. However, nationality was non-significantly (P > 0.05) associated with MSP levels. Conclusion High percentages of female patients showed bilateral sever MSP in the upper molar area, specifically, young age group. Clinical significance The oro-antral communication during extraction and surgical cases of female patients' maxillary teeth is possible. This should be considered during dentists' daily practice in this geographic area of SA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the eruption rates of lower second premolars (LPm2) at different developmental stages using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospectively, 31 individuals (9.77 ± 1.25 years) had their LPm2 scored according to the Demirjian method, and afterwards they were split into three groups according to developmental stage, as follows: D = complete-formed crowns; E = root length less than crown height; and F = root length greater than or equal to crown height. Linear distances from the LPm2 crown tip to the anatomical reference line (ARL) and to the occlusal plane line (OPL) were measured in paired CBCT scans (T1, T2), taken with an average interval of 8.6 months between them. Eruption rates (mm/y) were calculated and then compared between groups. RESULTS Eruption rates were greater for LPm2 at stage F than at stages D or E (P < .01) regardless of whether they were measured from the ARL (D = 2.84 mm/y; E = 2.55 mm/y; F = 5.38 mm/y) or from the OPL (D = 1.82 mm/y; E = 2.02 mm/y; F = 5.26 mm/y). Eruption rates evaluated from the ARL and the OPL had no statistically significant differences (P = .052), and a positive correlation (r = .79, P < .001) between them was observed. CONCLUSIONS LPm2 at Demirjian stage F showed greater eruption rates than at stages D or E, regardless of whether rates were measured from the ARL or the OPL. Faster eruption is expected for LPm2 at stage F. Evaluation of the LPm2's developmental stage using CBCT can aid in clinical decision making regarding the correct timing for intervention.

Abstract
Tooth extractions, apart from the third molars, which it seems is normal to extract today, have always given rise to controversy among orthodontists with both supporters and opponents. It is legitimate to raise the question regarding the need for extractions in our treatment plan and to opt for the first or second premolars as the extraction site, or even the first molars when the latter are decayed and the germs of the third molars are in place. Facial esthetic guides us in our treatment decisions but we must free ourselves from the so-called esthetic lines drawn up many years ago and, for the most part, on the basis of lateral headfilms and small study samples. Particular ethnic features are another major factor to be borne in mind, given that the vast majority of cephalometric standards were based on Caucasian populations. In this article, we will draw on clinical studies to illustrate the thinking behind the need for extractions and the choice of extraction sites.

Abstract
The presence of supernumerary teeth is not uncommon in the general population. They occur more frequently in patients with a family history of such teeth. It is rare to find multiple supernumeraries in individuals with no other associated disease or syndrome. There have been very few documented cases of bilateral maxillary and mandibular supernumeraries in the premolar region. An unusual case of a 35-year-old man with six para premolars and complete dentition is presented.
