Explore the complexity of root canal anatomy as it varies significantly from tooth to tooth. Radiographic assessment can reveal root canal deviation from the long axes, with limitations in identifying the exact distance to the apical constriction. Root canal endings on specific aspects of the root present challenges in radiographic recognition. Gain insights into these complexities for precise endodontic interventions.

The openings always ended short of the apices by 0.20-3.80mm. Gutierrez and Ayuayo 1995.
No exact distance from the radiographic apex can be given, because the distance from the radiographic apex to the apical constriction varies widely from tooth to tooth. Langeland.
Deviation of the root canal from the long axes of the root is recognizable on the radiograph only when the foramen ends on the mesial or distal aspect of the root. When the foramen ends on the buccal or lingual aspect it is not possible to recognize it radiographically. Gutierrez and Aguayo 1995.
