The Radix Entomolaris and Paramolaris: Case Series of Two Cases and a Short Review
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Endodontists usually come across various anatomical variations, particularly in permanent molars. A thorough knowledge of this aberrant morphology is essential for successful endodontic therapy. Permanent mandibular molars are usually two rooted with two mesial canals and one or two distal canals. Radix entomolaris, an anatomical variant in permanent mandibular molar, is an extra root present on the distolingual position, first described by Carabelli. If the extra root is on buccal aspect, it is termed as radix paramolaris. Even though considered to be an Asiatic trait, its prevalence is low in Indian population. However, its awareness and identification is inevitable to achieve endodontic success.
