interradikuläre

Interradikuläre is an adjective used in anatomy and dentistry to describe something located between the roots of a tooth or between root-like structures. In dental contexts it most often refers to the region between the roots of a multirooted tooth, such as the interradicular space or interradicular bone. The term is employed in anatomy, radiology, and pathology to specify location, for example when describing interradicular bone or interradicular lesions that occur in the area between tooth roots, including the furcation region in molars.

Etymology and usage notes: inter- means between, radiculus means root, and the German adjectival suffix -är/-äre allows the form interradikulär, interradikuläre, etc., to agree with the noun it modifies. The term is commonly contrasted with intraradikulär (within the root canal) and periradikulär (around the root).

Clinical relevance: The interradicular area is a key reference region in periodontal assessment, radiographic interpretation, and treatment planning for multirooted teeth. Pathology in this region can include bone loss in the interradicular space or furcation-related issues, which may influence diagnosis and management in periodontal and endodontic care.
