“…(9) identified a total of 11 patients in the literature with coronal invaginations in mandibular teeth, of which one was in a primary canine (10) and two were in permanent canines (9,11). Since that time, a handful of additional cases in mandibular incisor and premolar teeth have been reported, but none in mandibular canines (12–16). The present paper is only the third reported case of dens invaginatus in a mandibular permanent canine.…”

Dens invaginatus (dens in dente) is a common dental anomaly with a reported prevalence of between 0.04% and 10%. It typically affects permanent maxillary lateral incisors, central incisors and premolars. These developmental lesions are less common in mandibular teeth and are extremely rare in canines and molars. This report describes a rare case of dens invaginatus (Oehlers type II) in a permanent mandibular canine. The tooth was mature with a closed apex and showed apical pathosis. The tooth was treated endodontically using a non-surgical technique with hand endodontic files, and then followed up after a period of 8 months. A follow-up radiograph showed some healing of the lesion.

“…There are only a few reported cases of concomitant occurrence of gemination and DI by Burzynski,27 Mader,28 Nazif and Laughlin,29 and Canger et al 30. The differential diagnoses based on clinical appearance without radiographic investigation may warrant the treatment approach if these two abnormalities coexist in a single tooth.…”

Dens invaginatus in a geminated maxillary lateral incisor

Dens invaginatus (DI) and gemination are two developmental abnormalities that are well reported in the dental literature, but their coexistence in a single tooth is rare. Such situations worsen the risk factors associated with these anomalies, and the treatment plan should be customised as they possess altered morphology and anatomy. A 19-year-old girl came for evaluation of a cracked tooth in the front region of the upper jaw. The tooth showed clinical features of gemination and radiographic features of DI, and was diagnosed as DI in geminated maxillary lateral incisor. The differential diagnoses based on clinical appearance without radiographic investigation may warrant the treatment approach if these two abnormalities coexist in a single tooth. The report also highlights the importance of three-dimensional imaging in diagnosis and treatment planning of teeth with altered pulp canal anatomy. There are few reported cases in the literature detailing the treatment options for these two anomalies occurring in the same tooth.

Twentythree articles did not report on the follow-up period 14,17,22,25,27,36,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]47,[48][49][50][51] of the remaining articles, follow-up periods varied from 0.25 to 120 months, 25 of these articles reporting a follow-up of >12 months.…”
