ABSTRACT
Introduction: There are cases in the endodontic
treatment which are a real challenge. There are teeth with
taurodontism and radix entomolaris. Patients usually lose
their teeth because these anatomical features are less familiar.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate several
cases with taurodontism and radix entomolaris.
Material and methods: Two cases with taurodontism
and one with radix entomolaris that are described in the
following article. Careful exploration of the grooves between
all orifices with magnification, use of ultrasonic irrigation;
and a modified filling technique are of particular use.
Results: Results are observed after several years. In
performing a root canal treatment on such teeth, one should
appreciate the complexity of the root canal system, canal
obliteration and configuration, and the potential for additional
root canal systems.
Conclusions: Knowledge of the phenomenon of
taurodontism and radix entomolaris will improve the medical
practice of the general dental practitioner.
