The aim to publish this case report is to emphasize the clinical challenges involved in endodontic treatment of rare dental anomaly like Taurodontism. Endodontic management of a taurodont tooth has been described as complex and challenging. Present case is an attempt to emphasize the challenges an Endodontist encounters while treating Taurodontism affecting the molars of permanent dentition. An...

Trichodentoosseous (TDO) syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by dysplastic nails, curly hair, bone sclerosis of the long bones and calvarium, taurodontism, and enamel hypoplasia that occurs with hypomaturation/hypocalcification defects. To date, nine previous case reports of TDO in the dental literature have shown that while taurodontism and enamel defects are consistently...

Taurodontism can be defined as a change in tooth shape caused by the failure of the Hertwig's epithelial sheath diaphragm to invaginate at the proper horizontal level. An enlarged pulp chamber, apical displacement of the pulpal floor, and no constriction at the level of the cementoenamel junction are the characteristic features. Permanent molars are most commonly affected. Endodontic treatment ...

abstract : a 28-year old patient was referred for endodontic treatment of his left mandibular second molar. the patient had no history of systemic diseases and his chief complaint was spontaneous pain in left posterior region of mandible. clinically, there was a deep caries in the left mandibular second molar. radiographic examination of this tooth revealed a long crown containing large pulp ch...

This article describe a rare case of multiple taurodontism involving all molars in a 17-year-old male. Volumetric cone-beam computed tomography was used to investigate internal and external root morphology, including that of a maxillary first molar which required endodontic treatment and retreatment. Medical history was not contributory; however, Klinefelter syndrome was the diagnostic hypothes...

Dens in dente are known to be associated with many dental abnormalities such as taurodontism microdontia, gemination, and dens evaginatus. This paper describes a rare case of double dens in dente in a lateral incisor with crown morphology similar to a premolar present in a patient with features of albinism. Problems associated with this condition and their management is discussed.
