Incidental Finding of Bilateral Dens Invaginatus in the Maxillary Lateral Incisors and Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Diagnose and Treatment
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Dens invaginatus (DI) is a dental malformation commonly thought to occur as a result of an infolding of the enamel organ into the adjacent dental papilla during the development of the tooth. It shows a wide spectrum of variations in morphology and usually affects the maxillary lateral incisors. This study presents type 1 DI involving bilateral maxillary lateral incisors, which presented as an incidental radiographic finding in the laterals and was associated with a periapical lesion in the right one without caries. The case was successfully treated using nonsurgical endodontic treatment.
