Study Design: 1560 patients, from age between 18 to 40 years old were examined by panoramic radiographs for the existence of taurodontism
Results: Taurodontism was found in 9 patients with a Prevalence of 0.6% and 0.38 % of which were males and 0.12 % females. Taurodontism was significantly more common in mandible than in maxilla.
