Endodontic management of taurodontic teeth: A case series

Ali Chamani et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

This paper illustrated successful endodontic non-surgical (re)treatments of molars and premolar with different taurodontic classifications and accompanied anomalies like C-shape and extra root canals in otherwise healthy patients. Magnification with illumination besides active irrigation with NaOCl were the most helpful items in managing these cases.

Keywords: anatomic variation; molar; premolar; root canal therapy; taurodontism.
