Endodontics · single question
A radiograph shows taurodontism. This anatomy is MOST difficult to manage in which specialty?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Endodontics
- A. Correct. Taurodont teeth have an enlarged pulp chamber with apically displaced furcation and canal orifices, making canal location, instrumentation, and obturation challenging — an endodontic difficulty.
- B. Restorative treatment is largely unaffected by the internal pulp morphology.
- C. Periodontal management is not specifically complicated by taurodontism.
- D. Extraction can actually be easier because the roots are short with late furcation.
