Abstract
Understanding and awareness of unusual root canal morphologies in different teeth is extremely important for a dentist in order to achieve maximal beneficial effect to the patient. Any missed canal during endodontic treatment causes persistent infection around endodontically- treated tooth leading to unsuccessful outcome of root canal treatment. One of the altered tooth morphology is of the mandibular molars having additional root located either lingually (the radix entomolaris) or buccally (the radix paramolaris). Therefore, this case report discusses the endodontic treatment of mandibular first molar with a radix entomolaris.
