The radix entomolaris in mandibular first molars: an endodontic challenge

Abstract: Clinicians should be aware of this unusual root morphology in mandibular first molars in Caucasian people. Radiographs exposed at two different horizontal angles are needed to identify this additional root. The access cavity must be modified in a distolingual direction in order to visualize and treat the RE, this results in a trapezoidal access cavity.

“…Type II is characterized by a root canal with initial curvature that continues as a straight root. Type III RE is defined by a root canal with a curvature in the coronal third followed by a second curve from the middle third to the apical third [24]. The RE of our first case represents a Type III curve based on De Moor's classification.…”

“…Endodontic management of this root variation may present clinical challenges [23]. Based on the curvature of RE in the bucco-lingual orientation, De Moor et al [24] classified RE into three types. Type I refers to a straight root/root canal.…”

“…An initial root spiracle survey with small files with radiographical root canal length and curvature resolution , and the creation of a glide path before preparation, are actions that should be done gradually to prevent procedural errors, after replacing and enlarging the orifice of the RE (3,6,10).…”

“…El objetivo de la endodoncia es prevenir lesiones pulpares y periodontales y tratar las ya instaladas, proporcionando el sustrato dentario para devolver forma y función perdidas, a través de la rehabilitación oral (Fuentes et al). Para esto, es necesario realizar una minuciosa limpieza mecánica y química de la cámara pulpar y del sistema completo de canales radiculares (Al-Qudah & Awawdeh, 2009;Chandra et al, 2011;De Moor et al, 2004;Huang et al, 2010a;Jarad et al, 2011;McDonald & Hovland, 1990) los cuales, ya preparados y desinfectados, deben obturarse completamente con un material de relleno inerte y biocompatible. Luego, el diente debe ser restaurado adecuadamente, para asegurar su sellado coronal e impedir la filtración bacteriana (De Moor et al).…”
