Dens invaginatus in a mandibular lateral incisor

Abstract

A rare case of dens invaginatus involving a non‐carious mandibular lateral incisor with periapical periodontitis is reported. Invaginated teeth present technical difficulties in their clinical management because of their abnormal anatomy. In the present case, non‐surgical root canal therapy was chosen. A one‐year follow‐up clinical and radiographic examination showed a non‐symptomatic tooth with osseous healing proceeding. Copyright © 1995, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserve
