Radix Entomolaris: A Case Report.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Successful root canal treatment depends on proper biomechanical preparation of all the canals in the concerned tooth so as to receive 3-D filling with an inert obturating material. Problems in clinical practice are encountered when anatomically different teeth are supposed to undergo root canal therapy. Mandibular molar normally has two roots (mesial and distal) and three canals ( mesio-lingual, mesio-buccal and distal ). When an extra root is present lingually, it is termed radix-entomolaris. It is of prime importance to clean and shape the canal present in this extra root for a successful root canal treatment of the same. Failure to do so won’t give desired results which hence emphasizes the need to have knowledge regarding such anatomical variants.
