Prevalence of Taurodont and Pyramidal Molars in a German Population

Background:It is very important for dentists to be familiar with anomalies of teeth not only for the clinical complications but also their management. Taurodontism also provides a valuable clue in detecting its association with various syndromes and other systemic conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of Taurodont molars among a North Indian population.Materials and Methods:A total of 1000 patients’ full-mouth periapical radiographs were screened. The radiographs were evaluated under optimal conditions using double magnifying glasses. A total of 7615 molars (including third molars) were evaluated. The relative incidence and the correlations regarding the location of Taurodont teeth (right versus left side and maxillary versus mandibular) were analyzed using the Chi-square test.Results:Twenty-eight patients were found to have a Taurodont molar (11 women and 17 men [P = 0.250]). The prevalence of Taurodont molar was 2.8%. Males had a higher prevalence rate than females (3.4% vs. 2.2%, respectively). A cluster analysis of total Taurodonts in the mandible (45%) versus maxilla (55%) of both males and females combined showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).Conclusion:The occurrence of Taurodontism is basically based on racial expression in different populations. These variations in prevalence between different populations may be due to ethnic variations. The occurrence of Taurodont molars among this Indian population was rare.

Objectives: Taurodontism is a dental anomaly used to describe vertically elongated pulp chamber with apically positioned pulpal floor and absence of the usual constriction at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). It commonly involved permanent molar teeth especially mandibular molars.Aim: This study was aimed to investigate the Prevalence of Taurodontism in an Egyptian Population permanent molar teeth.Study Design: 1560 patients, from age between 18 to 40 years old were examined by panoramic radiographs for the existence of taurodontism Results: Taurodontism was found in 9 patients with a Prevalence of 0.6% and 0.38 % of which were males and 0.12 % females. Taurodontism was significantly more common in mandible than in maxilla. Conclusion:Taurodontism in the Egyptian population is relatively uncommon phenomena.

aurodontizm, dişlerde gözlenen anatomik varyasyonlardan olup, çok köklü dişlerde pulpa tabanı ve bifurkasyonun apikale doğru yer değiştirmesi ve bunun sonucu olarak da pulpa odasının genişlemesi şek- A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Taurodontizm; diş anomalileri; azı dişi; çocuk A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalance of taurodontism and distribution based on the jaw and gender in children living in Kocaeli city and cities surrounding. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : Diigital panaromic radiographs of 3.642 patients who were beetween 10-14 years old and applied to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Kocaeli University Faculty of Dentistry between 2013-2015 were evaluated in terms of taurodontism according to "Stifman ve Chanannel's" criteria. The obtained data were statistically analyzed by Chi-Square test according to the gender and location of teeth. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Taurodontism was detected in 81 of 3.642 patients with 149 taurodontic teeth. The prevalance of taurodontism was found as 2.22%. One hundred and fourty two children (95.3%) had hipotaurodontism and 7 (4,6%) children had mesotaurodontism. 42 patient (51.8%) with taurodontism were boys and 39 (48,1%) patient with taurodontism were girls. There was no statistically difference related to gender. Most common location of taurodontic teeth was maxillar region. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : As a result of this study, prevalance of taurodontism in first permanent molar teeth was found relatively few in the children. However, to obtain exact belief, there was a need for data to be obtained from children in different regions of Turkey.
