Guest guest Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi the correct answer is dilaceration Explanation--when a root of the tooth is 'bucally' dilacerated, it gives the appearance of a bull's eye becoz of the radiolucent apical foramen and radiopaque surrounding cementum. Clinical significance-- 1- planning extractions 2- root canal of such a tooth and appropriate pre-curving Hope u found it helpful !!! Regards, Ashish.
