Endodontic Management of Radix Entomolaris
نویسنده
چکیده
The treatment of mandibular molars has been challenging to the endodontist due to its several anatomical variations. The majority of mandibular first molars are two rooted with one mesial root and one distal root. It can have an additional root located lingually (radix entomolaris) or buccally (radix paramolaris). Success of endodontic treatment depends on thorough mechanical and chemical cleaning of the root canal system and obturation with an inert filling material. Lack of a working knowledge of pulp anatomy ranks second to inaccurate diagnosis and treatment planning as a cause of endodontic treatment failure. Hence accurate diagnosis and careful application of clinical endodontic skill is essential for the good prognosis of mandibular with this root morphology.

Variations in root and root canal is always a challenge and failure to recognize these variations can result in unsuccessful endodontic treatment. Mandibular molars can sometimes present a variation called radix entomolaris, wherein the tooth has an extra root attached to its lingual aspect. This additional root may complicate the endodontic management of the tooth if it is misdiagnosed or malt...

INTRODUCTION Radix entomolaris presents with an unusual morphology and is a rare occurrence. It is mainly observed in mandibular first molars. The incidence varies in different populations but it is far from common. This is especially true for mandibular second molars which possess the lowest prevalence. Some case reports have shown the presence of this finding in mandibular second molars; howe...
