Abstract

Successful endodontic treatment depends on correct identification of all the canals, thorough chemo-mechanical debridement followed by three dimensional obturation with proper hermetic seal. One of the major cause in failure of endodontic treatment is anatomic variations in tooth morphology which leads to improper location and identification of root canals. Generally mandibular permanent molars have two roots with three canals (mesiobucccal, mesiolingual & distal) but in few teeth, the number of roots and canals vary. The variation in the number of roots is called radix entomolaris, this article presents three case reports of mandibular first molars with extra roots including diagnosis, treatment plan and problems encounter during procedure.
