- Pulp therapy in primary molars with taurodontism is infrequently documented.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a case of taurodontism in deciduous molars requiring pulp therapy.
- To discuss the clinical and radiographic management of this rare condition in a pediatric patient.
Main Methods:
- Clinical examination and radiographic assessment of a five-year-old male child.
- Diagnosis of taurodontism in deciduous molars.
- Application of pulp therapy techniques tailored to the specific morphology.
Main Results:
- Successful diagnosis and management of taurodontism in deciduous molars.
- Favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes following pulp therapy.
Conclusions:
- Taurodontism in deciduous teeth, though rare, can be managed effectively with appropriate pulp therapy.
- This case highlights the importance of careful diagnosis and tailored treatment planning for complex pediatric dental cases.
