Isolated bilateral molariform mandibular second premolars; a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Molariform second premolar is a rare dental anomaly where the second premolar resembles a molar in size and shape. This condition is often linked to macrodontia, a rare enlargement of teeth that disrupts dental proportions and can manifest in isolated, relative, or generalized forms. Although mandibular second premolars are more prone to morphological variability, the occurrence of bilateral molariform premolars, induced by a unique form of gemination, is exceptionally uncommon and infrequently documented, thus making this case clinically significant.

Case presentation

This case report illustrates a rare bilateral presentation of molariform second premolars in the mandibular arch of a young patient. Both premolars displayed exaggerated mesiodistal dimensions, mola
