Abstract

Mandibular molars can have an additional root which can be located lingually (the radix entomolaris) or buccally (the radix paramolaris). An awareness and thorough understanding of this unusual anatomical feature can lead to a successful endodontic treatment of a tooth. This case report describes the case of a radix entomolaris found in a mandibular first molar and discusses its diagnosis and further endodontic management.
