An index on an _expression_ can only be used if the _expression_ is exactly the same as on one
side of an operator in a WHERE condition.
So your only chance with that query is to hope for a bitmap OR with an index on "parental path".
Two things to try:
1) CREATE INDEX ON table_name (parental_path text_pattern_ops);
2) CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;
CREATE INDEX ON table_name USING GIN (parental_path gin_trgm_ops);
