Successful endodontic management of three rooted mandibular 1st molars: Radix Entomolaris - A Case Series.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Radix entomolaris (RE) is considered to be an Asiatic trait. However, its prevalence in Indian population is found to be lower than in other Asian races. Hence, its awareness and identification is pivotal to achieve success in endodontics. This article presents a review on clinical approach and a case series on the detection and endodontic management of RE in mandibular first molars. Radix entomolaris was detected by identifying the presence of a double or extra root outline in the preoperative radiograph, modifying the access opening and closely inspecting the pulp chamber and was endodontically treated following cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the canals. Achieving the endodontic success in the presence of an RE requires adequate knowledge about its existence, diagnosis, morphology, canal configuration, and clinical approach.
