Abstract

 

 

 

 

Taurodontism is a rare dental anomaly in which the involved tooth has an enlarged and elongated body and pulp chamber with apical displacement of the pulpal floor. Endodontic treatment of a taurodont tooth is challenge to a clinician and requires special handling because of the proximity and apical displacement of the roots. The present article describes the diagnosis and management of hypertaurodontism by endodontic treatment in a left mandibular second molar.
