Radix Entomolaris – A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Success of endodontic treatment depends on the proper identification of all the canals, thorough chemo-mechanical preparation followed by three dimensional obturation with hermetic seal. Inability to do so will result in persistence of the infection. Failure of any of these steps may occur due to unusual tooth morphology. Usually mandibular molars have two roots with three canals (mesiobucccal, mesiolingual & distal) but in few teeth, the number of roots and canals vary. Radix entomolaris (RE) is a variation sometimes present in mandibular molars, wherein the tooth has an extra root attached to its lingual aspect. Irrespective of the type of file system used, an accurate diagnosis and careful application of clinical endodontic skill, improves the prognosis.
