Dental anomalies are the anomalies involving either crown or root portion of a tooth which may affect size, shape, number, structure and composition of a tooth and can be seen as a part of syndrome or in non-syndromic patients. Anomalies involving root portion of a tooth include different variations like larger size, extra root and extra canals. Short root anomaly is an uncommon root variation characterized by short roots with blunt and closed apices. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual occurrence of short roots involving permanent mandibular molars which is rarely reported so far. Detailed information pertaining to short root anomaly is also discussed in this paper.
