✔✔you should use the pulp chamber _____ and _____ as a guide to determine the
morphology and location of canal orifices - ✔✔floor and walls
✔✔law of symmetry 1 - ✔✔the orifices of the canals are equidistant from a line drawn in
a mesial-distal direction through the center of the pulp chamber floor

drawn in a mesial distal direction through the center of the pulp chamber floor
✔✔law of color change - ✔✔the color of the pulp chamber floor is always darker than
the walls
✔✔law of orifice location 1 - ✔✔the orifices of the root canals are always located at the
junction of the walls and the floor
