“…The endodontic treatment of taurodont teeth is complex and difficult because of the apical displacements of the pulpal chamber floor, which makes it harder to find the localization of the root canals. 5,6,11,15,16 Taurodont teeth often have an incorrect configuration of the root canal system and additional canals (Fig. 2,3).…”

Taurodontism is a morphological anomaly involving multirooted teeth that is characterized by a vertical shift of the pulp chamber and shortening of the roots. The literature was analyzed to determine the impact of a diagnosis of taurodontism on dental treatment. A total of 85 full-text publications from the years 2005-2021 were analyzed and 20 publications were included in this research. The endodontic treatment of a taurodont tooth is challenging due to the apical displacement of the pulpal chamber floor and the incorrect configuration of the root canal system, or the presence of additional canals. In terms of prosthetics, the use of taurodont teeth as abutments is not recommended as they lack stability due to shorter roots. The extraction of taurodont teeth can be complicated due to an apical shift of the root furcation. In periodontology, taurodont teeth can have a better prognosis as there is less chance of furcation involvement. From an orthodontic point of view, it is important to note that taurodont teeth are not sufficiently embedded in the alveolus and have a greater tendency for root resorption. With regard to genetic diseases, it has been reported that this anomaly can exist as an isolated feature. However, the majority of authors agree that taurodontism is associated with conditions such as Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, cleft lip and palate, hypodontia, amelogenesis imperfecta, and others. From a clinical standpoint, it is very important to diagnose taurodontism before treatment. A diagnosis of taurodontism can be important in the early diagnosis of malformations that commonly occur with this condition.

“…During the analysis, it is also important to pay attention to anatomical features of the molars that may indicate the presence of taurodontism in a diagnosed patient. Although taurodont teeth are clinically no different from cynodont teeth, they can cause difficulties during endodontic treatment due to the apical displacement of the pulp chamber floor, which significantly obstructs the localization of root canal openings (3,9,12,13,14). Due to the elongated shape of the pulp chamber, the initial diagnosis itself can be Prace przeglądowe / Review article w trakcie analizy zwrócić również uwagę na cechy anatomiczne zębów trzonowych, mogące wskazywać na występowanie taurodontyzmu u diagnozowanego pacjenta.…”
