“…7 Langlais et al 7 noted that the mandibular occurrence of this anomaly is rare. In fact, a review of the English language literature only showed 10 cases involving 13 mandibular teeth [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and among them, involvement of mandibular incisors is limited to three cases involving four teeth. The population studies conducted in North America on the incidence of DI in large groups were limited to Caucasians, Asians and African Americans.…”

Background: Dens Invaginatus (DI), commonly known as dens in dente, is a developmental malformation of tooth that most commonly affects permanent maxillary lateral incisor teeth. Deciduous teeth are infrequently affected. Presence of DI in mandibular permanent teeth is extremely rare. Further, the presence of DI bilaterally in the maxillary lateral incisors of the same patient is even more unusual. Methods: In this article, an unusual case of DI affecting a mandibular lateral incisor tooth is described. This malformation was uncovered after a full mouth radiographic examination when the patient presented for dental treatment unrelated to this finding. In addition, the various radiographic appearances of DI as they present within the maxillary and mandibular teeth are described. Essential clinical considerations and treatment options are presented. A review of the pertinent literature is undertaken and a table summarizing previous published findings of mandibular DI is presented. Results: A review of the literature indicates that DI in mandibular teeth is extremely rare with only 10 other cases involving 13 teeth reported previously. Conclusions: Although this is an extremely rare case, DI is an anomaly that should be familiar to all practising dentists due to the clinical implications of potential sequelae of pulpal involvement.

“…When these minor forms of invaginations are eliminated root canal therapy in most cases will not present further problems. In certain cases the invagination has to be treated as a separate root canal (Cole et al 1978, Zillich et al 1983, Eldeeb 1984, Greenfield & Cambruzzi 1986, Mangani & Ruddle 1994, Khabbaz et al 1995.…”

Dens invaginatus is a malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. Affected teeth show a deep infolding of enamel and dentine starting from the foramen coecum or even the tip of the cusps, and which may extend deep into the root. Teeth most affected are maxillary lateral incisors and bilateral occurrence is not uncommon. 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. Aetiology, prevalence, classification, and therapeutic considerations including root canal therapy, apical surgery and prevention of pulpal involvement are reviewed.

“…However, dens invaginatus in mandibular teeth (20 -23) and specifically in mandibular lateral incisors appears to be a rare condition. Up until now, only 3 clinical cases of this anomaly have been described in the literature (21)(22)(23). The first 2 simply reported the cases, and the third described the endodontic treatment of a typical type III dens invaginatus.…”
