Comparison of Curvature Severity Between Sagittal and Coronal Planes of Mesial Canals in Permanent Mandibular First Molars Using Schneider's and Weine's Methods and Multiple Complexity–Risk Criteria: A Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography Cross‐Sectional St
Sagittal planes revealed more severe single curvatures, whereas coronal planes showed a higher prevalence of S-shaped canals. Weine's method resulted in greater curvature severity than Schneider's. Inclusion of radius increased case severity grading. These findings highlight the importance of considering both measurement method and projection plane in endodontic treatment planning and research.
