Abstract
|
|
|
Dens invaginatus is a developmental variation resulting from invasination of the tooth crown of root before calcification.
Teeth most affected are maxillary lateral incisors.
The malformation shows a broad spectrum of morphologic variations and frequently results in early pulp necrosis.
Root canal therapy may present severe problems because of the complex anatomy of the teeth.
So, the early diagnosis of such malformation is crucial and a preventive approach has been recommended.
This report describes three cases of dens invaginatus treatment.
