Abstract

Taurodontism is an infrequent dental anomaly that predominantly affects the molars and is commonly observed in conjunction with other anomalies or as a component of a syndrome. The phenomenon, previously regarded as a characteristic of early humans, is also observed in contemporary humans albeit with a lower incidence rate. This article presents a unique case study with a female patient who was 35 years old. The patient had taurodontism, a dental condition characterised by enlarged pulp chambers in the molars. Notably, this condition was not found to be connected with any further malformations or syndromes.
 

Keywords: Enlarged pulp chamber, Endodontic treatment, Mandibular second molar, Taurodontism.
