To assess management of non-syndromic dens evaginatus affecting permanent maxillary central incisor, we performed a systematic review and also present a case report. We searched PubMed via MEDLINE and the reference lists of included reports. Eligible studies were any type of clinical studies describing the management of non-syndromic dens evaginatus affecting the crown of a permanent maxillary central incisor. We included 31 studies corresponding to 34 relevant case reports. Therapeutic options were complete reduction of the talon cusp in a single appointment (56%), periodic and gradual reduction of the cusp (26%), abstention (13%) or extraction (5%). We report an 8-year-old girl with unusual two-talon cusp, labial and lingual, on a right maxillary double central incisor. A multidisciplinary approach is key to management of permanent maxillary central incisors affected by coronary anomalies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
