Summary

This study will look at 395 Egyptian adults using 3D dental X-rays (CBCT) to see how often lower molars have extra roots (radix entomolaris) or extra canals (middle mesial canal). Knowing this can help dentists avoid missing these during root canal treatment. The study is purely observational and does not test any treatment.
