Trauma to primary teeth can lead to devastating sequels in development of permanent successors. The disturbance may range from enamel hypoplasia and/or hypo-calcification to arrest of dental bud development. Dilaceration is the angulation of root or crown in a =n aberrant direction, which poses problems during extraction and endodontic treatment. Here we present a case on a rare finding in a 26-year-old male patient who had a severe root dilaceration of maxillary second premolar tooth, which had approx. 117° palatal inclination. Key words: Dilaceration, Endodontic challenge, trauma, developmental anomaly.
