Abstract

Pediatric Dentistry is not only about the hard and soft tissues which are visible and can be treated. There are many dental anomalies which cannot be seen through naked eyes in spite of them being in the oral cavity i.e., anomalies of the root.

These anomalies are detected only when patients undergo treatment for the culprit tooth and these are generally seen in the tooth which undergoes radiographic examination for diagnosis.

During diagnosis primary molar radiograph shows extra root (Radix Entomolaris & Paramolaris). The normal anatomy of mandibular molars consists of two roots but in rarest of the rare conditions there are three roots. When this extra root is present distolingually to the main distal root it is called “Radix Entomolaris” and when it is present mesiobuccally to main mesial root it is called “Paramolaris”. The purpose of this article is to discuss the prevalence, anatomy, classification, clinical and radiographic diagnosis and significance of supernumerary roots in contemporary clinical pediatric dental practice.
