Abstract
ABSTRACT
Endodontic therapy of mandibular molars is a challenging task due to its varied
root canal morphology. A mandibular first molar with additional buccal root (Radix
paramolaris) and additional distolingual root (Radix Entomolaris) is an example of
its varied anatomy. A successful management of atypical root canal configurations
is an important aspect in determining the success rate of root canal therapy. The
detail knowledge of the root morphology and canal anatomy allows the clinician for
accurate location of the extra roots and canals and accordingly the refinement of the
access cavity for the stress free entry of complex anatomy. Hence, for a successful
root canal therapy, clinician must be aware of the external and internal anatomic
variations .The aim of this clinical case report is to present and describe the unusual
presence of two separate mesial roots and six root canals in mandibular first molar,
detected during routine endodontic therapy.
