A 2025 BMC Oral Health study explored how maternal, prenatal, and postnatal factors influence taurodontism and related dental anomalies in children aged 9–15 years. Among 815 radiographs analyzed, 62 cases of taurodontism were identified—most commonly hypotaurodontism affecting the right maxillary first molar. Significant associations emerged with maternal smoking during pregnancy, female sex, consanguineous marriage, and larger family size , alongside a strong link to pyramidal molars and heart disease in affected children. These findings highlight taurodontism as a potential early marker of systemic or developmental risk , emphasizing the importance of integrated screening.
