In an attempt to determine the clinical significance of taurodontism, two reports of cases of patients with the anomaly have been presented. It seems that the taurodont form does not interfere with routine operative procedures, but it is suggested that the morphology might hamper the location of orifices and could create difficulties in instrumentation and obturation in endodontic treatment. It is hoped that other cases involving the treatment of taurodont teeth will be reported to aid in determining the clinical significance of the anomaly for other areas of dentistry.
为了确定牛牙症的临床意义，已呈现了两例患有该异常的患者报告。似乎牛牙形态并不干扰常规手术操作，但有人认为这种形态可能会妨碍根管口的定位，并可能在牙髓治疗的器械操作和根管充填方面造成困难。希望能有更多涉及牛牙治疗的病例报告，以帮助确定该异常在牙科其他领域的临床意义。
