Abstract
Radiographs are the most useful imaging technique from a clinical perspective when broad coverage of the jaws is needed for diagnosis Several incidental finding can be seen such as impacted teeth carotid artery calcification variants in anatomical landmarks foreign bodies and retained root fragments Even though embedded roots have come across as incidental radiographic findings without any symptoms these roots can cause difficulties in some dental treatments So here we report a case of pain and tenderness in lower molar tooth region which was a consequence of retained root fragmentKeywords Deciduous dentition Embedded portion Gingivitis Retained root fragment Root resorption Periodontitis
