A case is reported of a patient with deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 at a highly specific locus (7q32). In addition to significant craniofacial stigmata and global developmental delay, the patient presented with numerous clinical and radiographic dental anomalies observed over a 10-year period. Hypodontia, accessory roots, dens invaginatus, hypoplastic enamel, and numerous pulpal anoma...

Permanent mandibular central incisor is rarely affected by tooth shape anomalies of crown and root. Co-occurrence of multiple anomalies in a permanent mandibular central incisor is extremely rare. This paper reports an unusual concurrent combination of multiple dental anomalies affecting both the crown and root of a permanent mandibular left central incisor - talon cusp, dens invaginatus, short...

Dens invaginatus is a tooth malformation resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla at the time of tooth development. The deep infolding of enamel and dentin are seen in the affected tooth. Maxillary lateral incisors are commonly affected tooth and bilateral occurrence is rare. It shows a broad spectrum of morphologic variations and it usually results in pulpal necrosis. Root canal thera...

AIM To present a case of a concomitant occurrence of dens invaginatus (DI) and gemination in a mandibular left lateral incisor. BACKGROUND DI is a developmental anomaly resulting from the invagination of a portion of a crown in the enamel organ stage of odontogenesis. It is commonly found in the maxillary lateral incisors but also occurs in the central incisors, premolars, canines, and molars...

Dens invagination (DI) is a developmental abnormality of teeth which frequently results in a complex internal anatomy of the root canal system. DI type 3 is an anomaly characterized by infolding of enamel and dentin extending into the root apex. This may present difficulties when forming a diagnosis and treatment plan. Many treatment modalities have been presented in case reports for DI type 3,...
