Taurodontism, a known morpho-anatomic variation in the shape of teeth, has already attracted substantial attention. The aim of this study is to contribute to this by discussing its direct impact on the dental practitioner via an evaluation of the prevalence of taurodontism in molars in Ashkelon, Israel. This retrospective study analyzed panoramic radiographs of 624 patients (330 males, 294 females), aged of 9–29 years—2849; first and second permanent molars were screened. Objective measurements and variables were used and analyzed using statistical SPSS version 27 (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA). Taurodontism was observed in 33.6% of the patients and was more prevalent among females (53% vs. 47%) and in maxillary molars compared to mandibular molars (57% vs. 43%). The overall prevalence of hypotaurodontism, mesotaurodontism, and hypertaurodontism was 10.8%, 0.5%, and 0.2%, respectively. No statistical difference between right and left sides was discovered, however, taurodont teeth in the upper left side exhibited the highest frequency, while the lower left side had the least. The highest occurrence of hypotaurodontism was on the upper right second molar followed by upper left first and second molars. The clinical challenge posed in endodontic, orthodontic, and restorative dentistry is discussed, and suitable alternative approaches are proposed for dental practitioners.

The growing demand for re-treatment of existing implant supported restorations in the anterior area due to esthetic complications poses a clinical challenge. One-piece implant supported restoration adds to the clinical complexity. Single implant crown restorations appear short as a result of expected cranio-facial changes. In the presented clinical case, a minimally invasive approach is offered as a solution for such an esthetic difficulty. The clinical old crown was prepared to receive an anterior incisal onlay (AIO) made from lithium disilicate and felspathic porcelain. The manufactured addition was adhesively cemented, presenting a simple prosthetic solution for an esthetic complaint, with no need for surgical procedure, while not challenging the one-piece implant body. As the variety of materials and methods for predictable adhesion increases, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment options will receive high priority. When correctly diagnosed and meticulously performed, the presented solution will meet the patient expectations and provide a satisfying result.
