Aim To obtain concurrent radicular measurements in the mesiobuccal (MB) and mesiolingual (ML) canals of mandibular first molars using scanned data of micro‐computed tomography (μCT) with novel software. Methodology The scanned data from 37 mandibular first molar mesial roots were reconstructed and a...
