“…[28] Grossman and Meiman reported that irrigation with 5% sodium hypochlorite for 20 min to 2 h dissolves all pulpal tissue. [29] Moorer and Wesselink demonstrated that one of the major factors in pulpal tissue removal was agitation with irrigation. [30] It is highly recommended that agitation must be done with copious irrigation to get rid of the pulpal tissue in Taurodont teeth.…”

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.

“…Hypochlorite has the unique capacity to dissolve necrotic tissue (61)(62)(63) and the organic components of the smear layer (64 -67). It kills sessile endodontic pathogens organized in biofilms and in dentinal tubules as efficiently as chlorhexidine or iodine at comparable concentration (68 -70).…”
