Curvature angles were measured in sagittal and coronal planes using Schneider's and Weine's methods, while curvature radii were calculated geometrically. The prevalence of S\u2010shaped canals was also recorded. Curvature severity was classified according to the American Association of Endodontists Case Difficulty Assessment form, EndoApp, and modified versions incorporating curvature and radius. The influence of the angle measurement method and radius on case complexity was evaluated.

Weine's method yielded consistently higher angles and smaller radii than Schneider's. Severe single curvatures (\u2265\u200930\u00b0) were more frequent in sagittal planes, whereas S\u2010shaped canals were more prevalent in coronal planes. MB was more often classified as higher difficulty than ML canals.
