Taurodontism is a condition in which there is a vertical increase in the size of the crown of the tooth at the expense of the roots, resulting in a larger pulp chamber and shorter roots. Dens evaginatus is a developmental anomaly in which there is an extra cusp on the tooth, Talon's cusp is a morphological variation characterized by an accessory cusp located on the lingual surface of the anterior teeth, and fusion is a union of two teeth during development resulting in a larger tooth. None of these conditions specifically involve a vertical increase in the size of the crown at the expense of the roots.
