“…For asymtomatic teeth with vital pulp and without periapical lesion, sealing of the invaginated pit with flowable resin is indicated whereas for necrotic pulp, nonsurgical endodontic treatment must be the first alternative. In cases of large periapical lesions not resolved nonsurgically or failure to gain coronal access, endodontic surgery still the last treatment option [5,2].…”

Dens invaginatus is an anomaly of the tooth formation, its root canal treatment is a real challenge due to the severe complex of root anatomy. This paper reports the nonsurgical endodontic management of three cases of maxillary lateral incisor with type I, II and III dens invaginatus, necrotic pulp and periapical lesion. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) was used to get a three-dimensional observation of this area. The use of dental operating microscope and ultrasonic tips helped us to eliminate the invagination safely.

“…Dens invaginatus has been defined as a defect in tooth development, characterized by invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla before the calcification phase [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Several terms have been used to define this malformation such as dens in dente, dilated composite odontoma, dens invaginatus.…”

“…Pulp necrosis occurring in a tooth with the usual form of type 3 invagination is often successfully managed by endodontic therapy of the root canal and the invagination alone (24,25), or by a combined endodontic and surgical therapy (26,27). In some cases the invagination can be completely removed using ultrasonics (28) or hand files (29,30) to facilitate endodontic therapy. In the above-described variant with a necrotic pulp, however, the intraradicular periodontal tissues and the shape of the root canal virtually preclude these treatment approaches.…”

“…The reported incidence varies from 0.04% to 10%. 2 It has been classified by Oehlers into three types, namely Type I, II and III. 3 The clinical presentation of dens invaginatus varies from deep cingulum pit to a deep infolding reaching the apical foramen.…”

“…3 The clinical presentation of dens invaginatus varies from deep cingulum pit to a deep infolding reaching the apical foramen. 2 Clinical significance of dens invaginatus lies in the increased risk of caries and pulpal pathosis. 2 This article describes the successful diagnosis and management of unusual type II dens invaginatus with 'labial' invagination with the help of spiral computed tomography scan.…”
