Furcation Canal Prevalence in Molars via Scanning Electron Microscopy

Lorenzzo De Angeli Cesconetto's study examines the frequency of furcation canals in molars. The research reviewed 35 molars using scanning electron microscopy, observing foramina in mandibular molars with diameters ranging from 32 µm to 312 µm. The dataset likely contains the results of this anatomical analysis.

Use Cases

• Analyze the prevalence of furcation canals based on molar type and location mentioned in the description
• Study the diameter distribution of foramina based on the reported 32 µm to 312 µm range
• Compare anatomical variation between maxillary and mandibular molars based on the sample composition

Strengths

• Sample includes 35 molars across four specific types (5 maxillary first, 10 maxillary second, 10 mandibular first, 10 mandibular second)
• Provides specific quantitative findings, such as foramina diameters ranging from 32 µm to 312 µm

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
