“…In the presented clinical case a dental operating microscope was used, which is proved to help discover additional root canals. Radiographs and CBCT are paraclinical methods which can help locate radix entomolaris (1,12,13). Orthopantomographic and sector radiographs have image superposition which can sometimes make discovery of the additional root impossible.…”

“…3 Generally, endodontic access cavity is triangular in shape for mandibular 1 st and 2 nd molars but present study is suggestive of trapezoidal shape for ease access to the location of canal orifices. 5 Various methods li ke dentinal map, canal bleeding points, ultrasonic tips, staining of chamber with methylene (root) blue dye (1%). Champagne bubble test, CBCT can help in identifying the additional canal.Magnifying loupes, intraoral camera, radiographs and dental microscope are some aids to clinical examination of radix entamolaris.…”

“…Cone beam computed tomography is preferred over radiographs as CBCT helps to bring out the three dimensional image which can be sectioned. 5 CBCT provides high-contrast resolution that totally removes the superimposition of structural images, which are not of interest. 1 The purpose of this case report is to present a case series of radix entamolaris having in mandibular 1 st molar with beneficial knowledge of its incidence, identification and management.…”

Generally, mandibular first molars have one mesial and distal root but in few cases there are morphological variations where in the number of roots and root canals may vary. Radix Entomolaris (RE) is the presence of an additional lingual root distally in mandibular molars. Correct diagnosis is important before starting with endodontic therapy in these teeth to ensure successful treatment outcome. This case report series describes the endodontic management of mandibular first molar with radix entamolaris.

“…Moreover, this study was conducted using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). CBCT imaging provides better spatial resolution and shorter scanning time in comparison to medical CT. Additionally, the main advantage of CBCT is that it exposes the patient to less irradiation in comparison to CT. 14,15 The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomy of PLR in individuals with hypoplastic maxillary sinuses using CBCT.…”

Background The prelacrimal recess approach, is frequently preferred in creating a minimally invasive surgical corridors. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the Prelacrimal recess (PLR) anatomy using Cone Beam Computed Tomography in patients with Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia. Methods The paranasal Cone Beam Computed Tomography series of 84 adults were analyzed retrospectively. The antero-posterior and mesio-distal widths of the PLR and the antero-posterior width of the naso-lacrimal duct were measured. The patients were divided into three groups according to the antero-posterior width of PLR to evaluate the feasibility of prelacrimal recess approach as Type 1 (0-3 mm), Type 2 (>3–7 mm) and Type 3 (>7 mm). Results The mean antero-posterior width of PLR was 3.11 ± 1.49mm in the patients and 4.77 ± 1.76 mm in the controls. The mean mesio-distal width of PLR was 7.64 ± 1.49 mm in the patients and 3.17 ± 2.05 mm in the controls. The mean antero-posterior width of naso-lacrimal duct was 9.58 ± 2.80 mm in the patients and 9.46 ± 2.42 mm in the controls. Conclusions The width of the antero-posterior PLR in patients with Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia was found to be significantly lower in comparison to individuals with normal maxillary sinuses in the measurements performed on paranasal Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans. Hence, while planning a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery with prelacrimal recess approach for maxillary sinus, the anatomical structure of the naso-sinusoidal region should be carefully analyzed, and individual anatomical variations such as Maxillary Sinus Hypoplasia should not be ignored.
