Abstract: Objective To research the root and root canal morphology of mandibular second permanent molars in Guangfu population of Lingnan area.Methods A total of 1 279 mandibular second permanent molars were collected from the 815 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of Guangfu population. The root and root canal morphology were observed and counted. The results are compared and analyzed with similar studies at home and abroad in recent years. Results The double roots type, C-shaped root type, conical fusion root type, and three roots type of mandibular second permanent molar accounted for 57.16%, 32.84%, 9.77% and 0.23%, respectively. The detection rate of double roots type in males was higher than that in females (P<0.05), but that of C-shaped root type was on the contrary. There were significant differences in the detection rate of double roots type among different age groups in women, and so was that of C-shaped root type (P<0.01). The root canal morphology in mesial root of the double roots type was 38.58% in type Ⅳ (2-2), 28.73% in type Ⅱ (2-1) and 22.98% in type Ⅰ (1-1), and the detection rate of type Ⅰ (1-1) root canals in females was significantly higher than that in males (P<0.01), but that of typeⅣ (2-2) root canals was the opposite. Type Ⅰ (1-1) root canals were the main type of distal root, accounting for 81.67%, and the difference among the root canal morphology detection rate of distal and mesial roots had statistical significance (P<0.01). The detection rate of C-shaped root canals in females was higher than that in males (P<0.05), and the detection rates of various root canal morphology in different parts of root canal had statistical significance (P<0.01). Among conical fusion root types, C-shaped root canal type was 62.40%, multiple root canal type was 20.00%, single root canal type was 17.60%, and the detection rate of multiple root canal type in males was significantly higher than that in females (P<0.01). The morphological symmetry of bilateral root was 68.10%, and that of bilateral root and root canal was 62.93%. Conclusion The root and root canal morphology of mandibular second permanent molars in Guangfu population of Lingnan region is complex and diverse, which is different from other regions and races at home and abroad.
