Dentists encounter a variety of anatomical variations on a regular basis. In this situation, the mandibular third molars are not far away. Because of their most posterior placement and unexpected morphology, extraction frequently continues to be the preferred course of therapy. An extra distolingual root (radix entomolaris) poses a significant anatomical challenge and is also extremely uncommon. Therefore, one of the key requirements for a successful root canal procedure is the identification and management of the radix entomolaris. The purpose of this article is to describe how two cases of mandibular third molar with three roots and 4 root canals in the first case and 3 root canals in the second case were successfully managed endodontically.
