Subject: [roots] separate Mb2

Looking at the literature, the incidence of 2 separate Mb canals is much higher than the popular perception..
stropko had it at 55%
Neaverth et al  had it at 62%
my numbers are a little less at 48% (87 max first molars)
I believe 50% is a very realistic number for separate canals..
here is one form this week.
the split was at the junction of the middle and the coronal third of the root.
