Abstract  Background:  Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was employed to study the morphology and curvature of middle mesial canals (MMCs) of mandibular first molars (MFMs). Methods:  CBCT scanning was performed on MFMs of 1100 patients. Patients’ images that met the inclusion criteria were divided into group A (
