Abstract Dens invaginatus (DI) is an anomaly of developmental origin arising due to disturbances during the morphodifferentiation stage, resulting from infolding enamel organ toward dental papilla. Different presentations invagination, altered canal morphology, and presence constrictions dilatations sometimes make its management really challenging. With advent modern diagnostic treatment aids, ...

Introduction: Dilated odontoma is the most severe form of a dens invaginatus, which rare dental malformation resulting from an invagination enamel organ into papilla before calcification occurs. Observation: A healthy 7-years-old girl was referred to oral surgery department remove impacted causing delayed eruption right mandibular lateral incisor (tooth 42). The patient painless and lingual oss...

AIM To review and discuss the aetiology, prevalence and classification of this dental anomaly together with the morphology of an invagination and the most appropriate nomenclature. SUMMARY This review considers the different possible nomenclatures and concludes that dens invaginatus is the most appropriate description. The paper highlights the different reported prevalence figures and conclud...

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. DI is classified as type I, II, and III by Oehlers depending on the severity of malformation. The maxillary lateral incisor is the most commonly affected tooth. Structural defects do exist in the depth of the invagination pits, and as a consequence, the early dev...

Dens Invaginatus is a dental malformation that poses diagnostic difficulties in the clinical context. This anomaly may increase the risk of pulp disease and can potentially complicate endodontic procedure due to the aberrant root canal anatomy. Compared to conventional radiographs, three-dimensional images obtained with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) are invaluable in the diagnosis of the...

Irrigation is a key part of successful root canal treatment as it fulfils several important mechanical, chemical and (micro) biological functions including the healing periapical tissues.
