Figure 8

Schematic illustrations of pulpar configurations with respect to commonly observed variations in mandibular cheek teeth of Triadan positions 06 to 11. The most frequent configurations are highlighted in green. Less common variations are smaller sized. Connections are demonstrated by a straight line. Red is used for the largest pulp compartment. Orange represents the second and ocher the third pulp compartment within one tooth. Encircled numerals represent either isolated pulp horns or pulp horns which are completely filled with secondary dentine. In Triadan 06s, pulp horn 6 was always connected to the mesial pulp compartment. In Triadan 11s, pulp horn 7 was always connected to the additional root canal III.
