Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The prevalence and anatomy of Radix Entomolaris and Radix Paramolaris in mandibular molars of Punjab Population using CBCT is of interest. Among 271 scans reviewed, the overall prevalence of radix roots was 4.05%, with RE found in 2.9% and RP in 1.1% of cases. The average root length was 14.3 mm and the mean curvature was 46.2°. RE was more frequently seen in first molars, while RP appeared slightly more in second molars. These findings highlight the need for awareness of such anatomical variations to ensure better outcomes in endodontic procedures.
