RCT 3 dx - PN/SAP
Very calcified, Taurodontic 3. Taurodontism is characterized by an enlarged pulp chamber, with the furcation area positioned closer to the tooth’s root apex. It cannot be diagnosed through clinical examination alone and requires radiographic imaging, as the crown of a taurodontic tooth appears normal, with key features located below the alveolar margin. This condition can occur in both deciduous and permanent teeth, either unilaterally or bilaterally, but is most frequently seen in the permanent molars of humans. The underlying cause of taurodontism is the failure or delayed invagination of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath, resulting in an apical displacement of the root furcation.
In this case the chamber was easy to find but canals and or***ces were a different story.
Reminds me of antlers of a 🫎🦌.
