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 ...

Developmental anomalies of tooth are not uncommon to find in clinical practice these days. Thorough knowledge of these anomalies is a prerequisite for their correct diagnosis, understanding clinical complications and management. Maxillary lateral incisor is one which is frequently associated with such developmental malformations, commonly affected by microdontia, hypodontia, dens invaginatus an...

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination of a portion of crown forming within the enamel organ during odontogenesis. The invagination ranges from a slight pitting (coronal type) to an anomaly occupying most of the crown and root (radicular type). Although a clinical examination may reveal a deep fissure or pit on the surface of an anterior tooth, radiographic exam...

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...

An accurate understanding of the morphology of the root canal system is a prerequisite for successful root canal treatment. Invaginated teeth have a complex root canal configuration that cannot be instrumented effectively and should be treated by both endodontic therapy and surgery. A case of dens invaginatus Type 3 in a maxillary lateral incisor with a periapical lesion and its successful trea...
