Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
A major anatomical variant of two rooted mandibular first molar is a tooth with an additional root (Radix Entomolaris and Radix Paramolaris). It is a rare macrostructure which is a radiographic diagnosis. Proper angulations and interpretations of radiographs help to identify pulp chamber and root anatomy. So a proper knowledge and understanding of this unusual anatomical variation can contribute to the successful outome of any treatment. The authors present here an unusual combination of dens evaginatus and bilateral radix entomolaris in a young girl. To confirm the diagnosis in this patient an IOPA and OPG was done with respect to lower mandibular first molar. Radiographs revealed an extra root present disto lingualy bilaterally in mandibular first molar. Keywords: Radix Entomolaris, Radix Paramolaris, mandibular, radiographs
