To evaluate and compare the staining propensity of SDF, SDF with Potassium iodide and SDF + Glutathione biomolecule on demineralized enamel. Study Design: Forty-five teeth were selected and stratified to receive either 38% SDF; 38% SDF + KI or 38% SDF + 20% GSH. The analysis for staining (E) was done using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and was recorded at different intervals for one month. Data analysis was done using Kruskal-Wallis test, Post-hoc analysis (Dunn) and a repeat-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA). Results: SDF caused maximum staining. SDF + KI staining was significantly less (P<0.05) compared to SDF at 1 week, 2 weeks and one month. SDF + GSH showed least staining at 5 minutes and 24 hours among the three groups but the staining increased gradually and had no statistical difference after 1 week, 2 weeks and one month when compared to other groups. Conclusion: Application of KI following SDF helps in reducing the staining. Addition of GSH had no significant effect.

Background
Taurodontism is an anomalous developmental condition where the coronal portion of the tooth is enlarged while the radicular portion is compromised. This may have important clinical implications while considering endodontic or exodontic procedures which may affect the technique of the treatment or its prognosis.
Case Report
This article describes the case of a 4-year-old female girl with molars exhibiting taurodontism with its clinical management and a review of this unique clinical condition.
Conclusion
This case report and review summarizes the diagnosis, classification, clinical management challenges and comprehensive rehabilitation of taurodontism in primary teeth.
