Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate prevalence of taurodonts in patients using cone beam computed tomography. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was undertaken in Department of Radiology, Rehman College of Dentistry, Peshawar, from 15th July 2022 till 15th January 2023. Methodology: Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans of 120 patients of both genders between 18 and 60 years of age were studied for the presence of taurodonts. Results were analyzed with the help of SPSS version 21. Chi-square was applied for comparison of genders and teeth of maxilla and mandible. Results: Out of 120 Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans (N=120), There were 69 females (57.5%) and 51 males (42.5%) having mean age of 32.02, ranging from 18-55 years with a standard deviation of 13.45 years. 11 patients(9.16%) had taurodonts. There was prevalence of taurodonts in maxilla (n=8, 6.66%). No significant statistical difference was observed between the male and female groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Taurodontism is a complex anomaly which is prevalent and more common in maxilla. Dental practioners need to be vigilant to properly diagnose and treat such patients.
