“…Gotoh et al [7] classified DI radiographically into two types based on the presence of a distinct loop-shaped invagination: type A-looping invagination of the enamel distinctly pointing to the root apex and enclosed in the tooth; type B-an invagination can be recognized but cannot be distinguished as a distinct loop-shaped invagination. DI is commonly reported in maxillary lateral incisors [3] associated with various anomalies, such as microdontia, macrodontia, peg laterals, taurodontism, gemination and fusion, supernumerary teeth, amelogenesis imperfecta, and multiple odontomas [18].…”

“…The presence of a deep lingual pit below the cingulum that communicates with the oral cavity in the periapical area may lead to a periapical abscess or cyst. Prophylactic root canal filling is advised [7] to prevent periapical pathosis and its potential sequelae. Any tooth with any type of DI that shows evidence of pathological pulpal changes requires more extensive endodontic treatment.…”

“…2, 3). The looping invagination of the enamel distinctly pointed to the root apex and was enclosed in the tooth; hence, it was classified as type A based on the Gotoh et al radiographic classification for DI [7]. The pulp chamber of tooth 21 appeared to be widened with no distinct loop-shaped invagination; it was therefore classified as type B.…”

Concurrent occurrence of dens evaginatus and dens invaginatus in maxillary incisors: a case report and review

Dens evaginatus (DE) and dens invaginatus (DI) are developmental anomalies that affect the shape of the teeth. Although they have been found singly and in association with other developmental anomalies in the same patient, it is uncommon to observe these two anomalies in the same tooth. There are only a few published cases of concurrent DI and DE in the same tooth. The patient in the case reported here was a 27-year-old man who exhibited a novel combination of DE and DI in permanent maxillary incisors. Early diagnosis of this anomaly is necessary. The clinician then can take particular care when performing prophylactic odontoplasty for the DE, keeping in mind that the associated DI presents an increased risk of early pulpal involvement. This article focuses on the management aspects of DE and DI.

“…Its prevalence varies significantly and ranges between 0.25%-10% (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). However, the issue of the prevalence of dens invaginatus is very complicated as a result of the differences of the relevant conducted studies in terms of their design, the examined sample size, and the diagnostic data used (1,2).…”

Dens invaginatus is a deep surface invagination of the dentin that is lined by enamel and is easily affected by dental caries, thus resulting in pulpitis and apical periodontitis. This report presents an image analysis of rare dens invaginatus of the maxillary third molar in a 23-year-old man. A radiographic examination showed a radiopaque structure in the dilated roots and a radiolucent area around the root. Tooth extraction and cystectomy were performed. The histological findings showed the tooth to have type III dens invaginatus. This report discusses the application of multiplanar computed tomography (CT) imaging and the free image analysis software (OsiriX) to achieve a more precise evaluation of dens invaginatus.
