Radix entomolaris and radix paramolaris: A cone-beam computed tomography study of permanent mandibular molars in a large sample from Slovenia.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence, unilateral/bilateral concurrency, and external morphology of permanent mandibular molars (PMMs) with radix entomolaris (RE) and radix paramolaris (RP) in a sample from Slovenia.

Design: Medium field-of-view cone-beam computed tomography images of 1315 participants (681 males, 634 females) aged 13-90 years (mean age 45.5) were retrospectively examined.

Morphometric analysis of three-rooted mandibular first molars in a Slovene population: a macroscopic and cone-beam computed tomography analysis.

Background: This study examined the root morphology of mandibular first molars (MFMs) with radix entomolaris (RE), which presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for clinicians.

Materials And Methods: A total of 17 three-rooted MFMs were taken from a collection of extracted teeth. Root lengths and levels of furcations were measured with a digital calliper.

The prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular molars in a Slovenian population: A radiographic study.

Three-rooted permanent mandibular molars (PMMs) have great clinical significance and interesting geographical distribution. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess their prevalence among a Slovenian dental school patient population. A total of 3668 PMMs (1361 first, 1573 second, and 734 third) were evaluated by means of intraoral (periapical and bite-wing) radiographs that were collected from dental records of 1317 patients (708 females and 609 males) aged 13-92 years (mean age 37.
