How does Klinefelter syndrome affect dental management?

Before pulp therapy or extraction: obtain radiographs. Taurodont pulps are large, furcations are deep, and canal orifices may lie near the apex.
Pulp therapy: deep canal orifices can be difficult to locate, making treatment technically harder.
Extraction: review actual root number, shape, divergence, and neighboring structures. Taurodontism does not reliably make an extraction easy.
Communication and history: tailor explanations to language and learning needs; review endocrine treatment.
