Abstract :

Ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder caused by the disturbances in the ectoderm during the early embryonic stage of development. The ectodermal derivatives like hair, nails, teeth and sweat glands are usually affected and anodontia or hypodontia are the most common dental features associated with ectodermal dysplasia. Peg shaped teeth and cleft lip or palates are the other features that have been reported. Taurodontism has been reported in very few instances in the available literature. The aim of this report is to present to the reader the radiological features of taurodontistism occurring in ectodermal dysplasia which is extremely rare.
