“…Radix paramolaris (RP) is a rare anatomical variant for mandibular molar anatomy [4]. Indeed, a current literature search revealed only two case reports [10,11]. On the other hand, additional roots are found in mandibular molars.…”

Anatomical variations of the root canal system of mandibular molars are common and often present challenges for endodontic treatment. In some cases, an additional root is located in the distolingual, radix entomolaris (RE), or more rarely in the buccal, radix paramolaris (RP). This case report illustrates rare nonsurgical retreatment of the complex root canal morphology of a RP and demonstrates the utility of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D printing in managing such a case. Underscored is the need for clinicians to understand the possible variations of root canal morphology of mandibular molars and the role CBCT imaging can play in addition to periapical radiographs in order to successfully treat a tooth with radix paramolaris.

“…The mandibular first molars usually have two roots, one mesial and one distal, with usual root canal distribution as two canals in the mesial root and one or two canals in the distal root. [1] The presence of a middle mesial canal with incidence of 1-15 % is major variant of root canal system of mandibular first molar. Other common variant is three canals in the distal root with an incidence of 1.7% in the Indian population; 0.2% in Senegalese population; 1.7% in Turkish population; 0.7% in Burmese population and 3% in Sudanese population.…”

“…Advanced imaging techniques such as digital radiography, fiber-optic illumination, surgical loupes, dental operating microscope and micro-computed tomography (CT) are also helpful in the detection of Radix entomolaris. (1) In the present case series, the variations in distal root anatomy were identified through careful reading of angled IOPA radiographs. The first radiograph was taken with conventional angulation, and the second one with a mesial shift of approximately 20°.…”
