Abstract
Three-rooted mandibular molars occur in certain races and their presence may imply clinical complications. A case is reported of an unusual anatomical relation of the inferior dental nerve with the extra root of a mandibular third molar, which was displaced by an associated dentigerous cyst. Intraoperatively, it was discovered that the nerve was situated close to the curved, extra distolingual root, which had to be surgically divided to release the nerve. Racial, clinical, and radiographic features of this morphological form, together with its clinical relevance, are discussed.
