Single Rooted Primary Molars in Addition to Taurodontism – A Rare Case Report
Keywords:
Prmarymolar, Bilateral, Single root, Taurodontism, CBCT
Abstract
Knowledge regarding the morphological variations in root and root canals aids in successful dental treatment. However the literature regarding dysmorphology of roots in primary dentition is sparse. The purpose of this article is to present a rare case of bilateral single rooted mandibular primary first molar and maxillary second molar with taurodontism in mandibular second primary molar in the same patient.
