One of the most common dental anomalies is dens invaginatus. As the name indicates, it is an invagination of the coronary or root surface, bounded by enamel, which can be so profound as to simulate the appearance of a tooth inside another. Usually occurs in permanent maxillary lateral incisors, followed by maxillary central incisors, premolars, canines and less frequently molars. In this articl...

3 Introduction noticed in whale's tooth by Ploquet in 1794. Salter first described this anatomical anomaly Dens invaginatus is a dental anomaly as “a tooth within tooth” in 1855, and was the which results from invagination of enamel first person who described dens invaginatus in organ into dental papilla, beginning at the 3 ,4 human tooth in 1856. Clinically, a crown and sometimes extending int...

Dens invaginatus occurs as a result of the invagination of the enamel organ. These cases may present difficulties with respect to its diagnosis and treatment because of canal morphology. It frequently leads to caries, pulpal, and periodontal involvement with necrosis and loss of attachment. The knowledge of classification and anatomical variations of teeth with dens invaginatus are of great imp...

this report describes the non-surgical treatment of an invaginated maxillary lateral incisor with two fused roots. the mesial root had a c-shaped canal, while the distal one had a type iii dens invagination. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was used to help with the diagnosis and treatment decision making. clinical and radiographic follow-up revealed satisfactory periapical repair and absen...

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly that results in an invagination of the enamel organ into dental papilla prior to calcification tissues. Apical fenestration defined as defect which apices perforate mucosa and are exposed oral cavity. These anomalies require multidisciplinary management order give better prognosis patient, since it acts retentive area biofilm, affecting deteriorating ...

the dilated odontoma is an infrequent developmental alteration that appears in any area of the dental arches and can affect deciduous, permanent and supernumerary tooth. dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination of a portion of crown forming within the enamel organ during odontogenesis. the most extreme form of dens invaginatus is known as dilated odontoma. the aim...

Dens invaginatus, also known as “dens in dente”, is a developmental dental anomaly resulting in an invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla. These cases present technical difficulties to the root canal treatment. Apexification using an apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been indicated as an alternative to long-term intracanal use of calcium hydroxide in immature...

Introduction: Dens invaginatus is an extremely rare developmental disturbance that can occur in primary, permanent, or supernumerary teeth due to invagination of the enamel organ into dental papilla during tooth development. The clinical recognition radicular variant dens dente challenging as it mostly asymptomatic with a normal-appearing crown and incidentally discovered radiographs. Case pres...

Supernumerary teeth are defined as any teeth in excess of normal number. Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth, in the central region of premaxilla between two central incisors. Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination in the surface of tooth crown before calcification has occurred. Radiographically, it is observed as infolding of a radioopaque ribbon like structure,...

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly that results in an enamel-lined cavity intruding into the crown or root before the mineralization phase. It typically affects permanent maxillary lateral incisors, central incisors, and premolars. This paper describes the root canal treatment of Oehlers' type II dens invaginatus in maxillary left lateral incisors. A 16-year-old boy presented to the Fa...
