Abstract

The clinician’s knowledge and familiarity with the root canal anatomyplays a crucial role in the identification of variations in the anatomy like extra canals and roots. Inability to recognize and negotiate these variants lead to failures. The mandibular first molar is reported to be involved in root canal procedure more often, as it is one of the initial permanent posterior teeth to erupt. This tooth type exhibit reasonable variations in the number of canals and roots. One such variation is an extra root in the lingual termed the Radix Entomolaris. This article is a report of two cases describing the management of the first mandibular molars with Radix Entomolaris. Keywords: Radix Entomolaris; Extra root; Anatomical variation; Mandibular molar; Endodontic treatment; Root canal treatment
