Although many studies have looked at the mesiobuccal root of maxillary molars, the palatal root has not received as much attention, and in particular, no study has looked specifically at palatal root anatomy in regard to accurately determining working length for canal instrumentation and obturation.
UNCF redirects here. It is not to be confused with UNICEF. The United Negro College Fund, or UNCF, is an American philanthropic organization that funds scholarships for black students and general scholarship funds for 39 private historically black colleges and universities.
Early UNCF supporters included President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The first annual fundraising effort generated $760,000, a sum that would be worth approximately $8.6 million in 2008 dollars. In 1959 Massachusetts Senator (and future President) John F. Kennedy donated the proceeds from his Pulitzer Prize winning book, Profiles in Courage, to the UNCF.
