Abstract
Radix entomolaris (RE) characterized by an extra root in mandibular molars is a rare phenotype. When this condition coincides with complex root canal curvatures or S-shaped canals, root canal therapy (RCT) challenges arise. The present study presents three cases of RE along with complex root curvatures. The challenges of RCT and case management in this study are addressed within the framework of paying attention to the access cavity according to the extra root, instrumentation with the crown-down technique, sufficient irrigation, using nickel–titanium rotary systems, dense obturation with the warm vertical technique, and patient follow-up. Also, in the last case, the management of two broken files by loop and bypass techniques is described. Adequate knowledge of the root canal system's morphology and the use of appropriate techniques and materials for root canal therapy are the background for successful RCT.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
