Objective: To describe the case of bilateral taurodontism in a female patient with no other associated syndrome. Case Report: An 55 years old female was referred to the postgraduate endodontic department. The patient’s medical history was noncontributory. On intraoral examination showed proximal caries with 36 and was positive to percussion. History of access opening with the same tooth. Radiographic examination showed the characteristics of taurodontism and symptomatic apical periodontitis. The tooth was endodontically treated in 2 appointments. Radiograph of contralateral tooth 46 showed features of taurodontism suggesting case of bilateral taurodontism.
