INTRODUCTION: Taurodontism is a morphologic change characterized by wide pulp chambers, displaced toward the apical floor of the tooth and short roots.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the characteristics of multiple bilateral taurodontism in a female patient.
CASE REPORT: A 13-year-old female patient evaluated for ectopic eruption of the lower right canine. Physical examination revealed no alteration or apparent mental retardation. Intraoral exam detected multiple carious lesions. Periapical and panoramic X-rays revealed short roots and wide and elongated pulp chambers in the second upper and lower molars. Taurodontism was determined in 2, 15, 18, and 31.
CONCLUSION: Findings emphasize the importance of radiographic assessment for diagnosing taurodontism, which might present unusual characteristics, such as multiple and bilateral appearance. The absence of a syndrome should not be used to rule out the possible manifestation of this morphologic variation.
