Dens Invaginatus

Dens invaginatus is a developmental malformation of teeth with the enfolding of enamel and dentin into the pulp chamber and sometimes into the root that most commonly affects the maxillary lateral incisors. This anomaly may increase the risk of pulpal disease and can potentially complicate treatment due to its aberrant anatomy, thus posing a diagnostic challenge. Similarly, the incomplete elimination of the invagination and debridement may create dead space within the canal leading to the failures. This case reports the endodontic management of the Oehler’s type II Dens invaginatus.

Dens Invaginatus

Dens invaginatus is one of the most frequent malformations in dental elements. It can affect all teeth, even primary and supernumerary ones. It consists of an invagination of the crown surface, which happens during odontogenesis and penetrates the interior of the pulp chamber of the dental elements involved. In some cases, it can reach the apical tooth area. The maxillary lateral incisor is the most common site of occurrence. Due to its complex and variable anatomy, the tooth may present pulp necrosis and open apex, making it difficult to salvage. Oehlers classified them into types I, II, and III according to their complexity. This article reviews the literature and describes the treatment of a maxillary central incisor with type II invagination. The invaginated structure in this case detached due to various instrumentations during the change of dressing phase, facilitating root canal filling. In conclusion, this case shows that many methods are capable of removing the invaginated area of a dens invaginatus type II.

Maxillary Lateral Incisor

Maxillary lateral incisors are generally considered as a tooth with a single root and single canal. This is not true in all cases as case reports have advocated maxillary lateral incisors showing two roots with two or three root canals, Thorough knowledge of the internal and external dental anatomy and its variations is essential for a successful endodontic treatment. This case report deals with the periapical surgery in a two rooted maxillary lateral incisor along with the central incisor.
