Abstract
A major anatomical variant of two rooted mandibular first molar is a tooth with an additional root (Radix
Entomolaris and Radix Paramolaris). It is a rare macrostructure which is a radiographic diagnosis. Proper angulations and
interpretations of radiographs help to identify pulp chamber and root anatomy. So a proper knowledge and
understanding of this unusual anatomical variation can contribute to the successful outome of any treatment. The authors
present here an unusual combination of dens evaginatus and bilateral radix entomolaris in a young girl. To confirm the
diagnosis in this patient an IOPA and OPG was done with respect to lower mandibular first molar. Radiographs revealed
an extra root present disto lingualy bilaterally in mandibular first molar.
