In this paper, we give the condition for the existence of the q-th roots of p-adic numbers in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with an integer $q{\geq}2$ and (p, q) = 1. We have the conditions for the existence of the fifth root and the seventh root of p-adic numbers in $\mathbb{Q}_p$, respectively.

The Newton-Raphson method is used to compute the q-th roots of a p-adic number for a prime number q. The sufficient conditions for the convergence of this method are obtained. The speed of its convergence and the number of iterations to obtain a number of corrected digits in the approximation are calculated.

We derive three identities of symmetry in two variables and eight in three variables related to generalized twisted Bernoulli polynomials and generalized twisted power sums, both of which are twisted by unramified roots of unity. The case of ramified roots of unity was treated previously. The derivations of identities are based on the p-adic integral expression, with respect to a measure introduced by Koblitz, of the generating function for the generalized twisted Bernoulli polynomials and the quotient of p-adic integrals that can be expressed as the exponential generating function for the generalized twisted power sums.
