Abstract
ABSTRACT The shape and size of tooth roots are genetically predetermined. Clinical defects in root formation can manifest in the form of shortened roots, caused reported either by root agenesis or root resorption. The present case report is of a 17-year-old patient who reported with fully erupted permanent dentition, with roots only half of the normal length as seen in orthopantomograph. In the absence of any other significant finding, it is speculated that the arrested root development was most likely due to a genetic predisposition. Adequate and accurate records are critical from medical and legal point of view in the treatment of patients with potential problems in root agenesis.
