| Summary: | Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly
resulting from epithelial invagination of the tooth
crown before calcification. Endodontic treatment of
teeth affected by dens invaginatusmay be difficult
and complex due to aberrant anatomy. Combined
orthograde and surgical approaches for successful
treatment of dens invaginatus are effective. This report
describes the successful treatmentand results atthe
12-month follow-up of a maxillary lateral incisor
showing dens invaginatus type II, a large periapical
lesion and an open apex by using combined surgical
and endodontic treatment. |
