Abstract

The success of endodontic therapy depends on the complete debridement of pulp tissue for which the anatomy of the root canal system is to be understood majority of the mandibular molar present with 2 roots with 3 to 4 canal. The presence of an additional root on the mandibular molar located lingualy (radix entomolaris) located buccally (radix paramolaris) is an unusual occurrence. Managing procedural errors is demanded in the present scenario. This paper discuss the identification of the radix entomolaris and paramolaris clinically and using radiographs and classification of the radix entomolaris and paramolaris followed by management of the teeth with irreversible apical periodontitis.
