Abstract

Taurodontism is an abnormal morphological trait of tooth shape, which usually occurs in multi-rooted teeth. An enlarged pulp chamber and apical displacement of the pulpal floor are characteristics. Endodontic treatment of a taurodont tooth may be very difficult because it requires special care in identifying and treatment of the complex root canal system. The endodontic treatment of a taurodont maxillary first molar is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
