Detection of Permanent Three-rooted Mandibular First Molars by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Imaging in Taiwanese Individuals

Radiographic appearance and clinical implications of the presence of radix entomolaris and radix paramolaris

“…Most studies focused only on first molars [2,3,9,28,30], because it was noticed that the occurrence of RE was the highest there. However, some studies took into consideration also the third molars [21], or concentrated on all mandibular molars [26].…”

“…CBCT (axial slices) were also used by Tu et al [28] to study first mandibular molars in the Chinese population. Apart from the epidemiological implications of the study, the most important finding was that the axial plane of CBCT allows for the exact visualisation of the distolingual orifice in relation to other canals.…”

“…For this purpose micro-CT provides a better imaging modality, but it can only be applied in in vitro studies [28].…”

An extremely rare case of radiculous premolar coexisting with bilateral fourrooted mandibular second molars

“…Recently CBCT with an optimal field of view is an effective method of choice to diagnose the tooth roots and the canals morphology due to higher resolution than traditional computed tomography and the lower radiation [4,5].…”

Cone Beam Computed Tomography Evaluation and Endodontic Treatment of Mandibular First Molar with Radix Entomolaris: Case Report

“…Alt çene büyük azı dişlerin distolingualinde bulunan ilave bir üçüncü kök ilk kez Carabelli tarafından saptanmıştır ve bu kök "radiks entomolaris (RE)" olarak tanımlanan. 3,4 Eğer fazla kök dişin mezio bukkal bölgesinde bulunuyor ise ''radiks paramolaris''olarak adlandırılmak-tadır. Bu fazla kökler anatomik olarak düz veya eğri olabilmekte ve genelde diğer köklerden daha kısa olmaktadırlar.…”
