Abstract

Mandibular molars can have an additional root located lingually (the radix entomolaris) or buccally (the radix Paramolaris). If present, an awareness and understanding of this unusual root and its root canal morphology can contribute to the successful outcome of root canal treatment. This article presents successful endodontic treatment of two mandibular first molars with extra roots one is with radix entomolaris and other is with radix Paramolaris, both of which are rare microstructures.
