Although taurodontism has been reported in many syndromes which also feature hypodontia, there have been no previous investigations on the prevalence of taurodontism in patients with hypodontia. Using a novel biometric method for the assessment of taurodontism, we found that 34.8% of 66 patients with hypodontia had at least one mandibular first permanent molar which showed taurodontism compared...

Although permanent molar teeth are most commonly affected, this chang...
