Surgical management of lateral incisor with type II dens invaginatus and a periapical pathosis: A case report with 1-year follow-up

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.

Sufficient Space

ABSTRACT Synodontia or fusion is union of two independently developing primary or secondary teeth. In the case reported here, clinical and radiographic examination suggested fusion between maxillary lateral incisor and a supernumerary tooth with the resultant loss of eruption space for permanent canine. Since the teeth exhibited separate pulp chambers without any pulpal involvement, surgical separation followed by odontoplasty was done. Follow-up revealed the tooth to be asymptomatic and sufficient space for eruption of canine was created. The case report highlights the surgical management in case of fusion and timely intervention to prevent periodontal, endodontic and orthodontic complications.

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is rare and in the oral cavity it accounts <1% of all biopsied lesion. For decades Necrotizing Sialometaplasia were treated by conservative management as it is a self healing lesion. The progressive healing period was reported from 2 weeks to 3 months in the literature. Is necrotizing sialometaplasia a self-limiting disease? Here we report a case of non-healing necrotizing sialometaplasia which was treated by surgical management. Complete regression of the lesion was evident after the surgical management and no recurrence until two years of follow-up.

Unusual Case Report

This case report showed an AOT in a 12-year-old female patient referred for orthodontic-surgical of both impacted right mandibular canine and lateral incisor. Cone beam computed tomography revealed a well-defined mixed hyperdense/hypodense lesion, involving the crown of the mandibular lateral incisor. The surgery consisted in surgical exposure of the mandibular right canine and lateral incisor, bonding of the lateral incisor for orthodontic traction and curettage of the mandibular lesion. Histopathological examination revealed several columnar epithelial cells with minimal stromal connective tissue, lobular pattern and rosettes and duct-like structures, confirming the diagnosis of AOT. After, the patient was referred for orthodontic traction of the impacted teeth. At 1 and 3-year postoperatively, follow-ups examinations showed extensive bone repair, resolution of the tooth-retention and absence of recurrence. Although AOT is an uncommon lesion in the mandible, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the mixed profile lesions in this region.
