The Radix Entomolaris and Paramolaris: A Review and Case Reports with Clinical Implications. International Journal of Scientific Study. 2020 Jul; 8(4): 1-42321-595X2321-6379http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/209469Normally, the permanent mandibular first molar has two roots, mesial and distal. However, mandibular molars may have anadditional root located either buccally (radix paramolaris) or lingually (radix entomolaris [RE]). Understanding of the presence ofan additional root and its root canal, anatomy is essential for successful treatment outcome. The aim of this paper is to reviewthe prevalence and morphology of RE and to present two cases of permanent mandibular first molars with an additional thirdroot (RE) in the Indian population. In this study, we did a clinical investigation of two cases; one case of successful endodonticmanagement of permanent mandibular first molar characterized as RE, whereas the second one is a presentation of a case ofsevere bone loss around permanent first molar with an additional third root. The presence of an additional third root in permanentmandibular first molars may affect the prognosis of the tooth if it is misdiagnosed. Thus, an accurate diagnosis and thoroughunderstanding of variation in root canal anatomy are essential for treatment success.Additional third rootPermanent mandibular first molarRadix entomolarisRoot canal anatomyThe Radix Entomolaris and Paramolaris: A Review and Case Reports with Clinical ImplicationsJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Restorative and Prosthetic Dental Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, College of Dentistry, King Saud Abdulaziz University of Health Sciences, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaAssistant Professor, Department of Restorative Dental Sciences, Division of Endodontics, College of Dentistry and Pharmacy, Buraydah Private Colleges, Qassim, Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaFaculty of Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, United Arab EmiratesAssistant Professor, Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Bhabha College of Dental Sciences, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, IndiaSpecialist Endodontist, Ajman, United Arab Emirates
