The prevalence of taurodont molars and the degree of taurodontism in the mandibular permanent first and second molars were studied in 39 Norwegian individuals diagnosed with Laurence-Moon and/or Bardet-Biedl syndromes (LM/BBS). Four individuals were excluded due to missing mandibular molars.
Among the 35 participants with mandibular molars present, one or more taurodont teeth were found in 83 %. In the population investigated, the second molars had the highest (72 %) and first molars the lowest (58 %) prevalence of taurodontism.
