This case report illustrated the conservative management of an invaginated type II tooth with a large periapical lesion. This dental malformation is characterized by the complexity of root canal anatomy, which when associated with a periapical lesion complicates the performance of conventional endodontic treatment, hence resulting to the difficulty of obtaining the optimal disinfection of the root canal system, which is an essential element for the success of any endodontic treatment. In the present case report, clinical and radiographic examinations were supplemented by CBCT examination to identify the root canal configuration and the extension of the periapical lesion. Conservative orthograde endodontic treatment was performed by combining mechanical and chemical action. Additionally, active nonsurgical decompression was performed and the follow-up visits revealed a favorable outcome.
La fluorose dentaire est une anomalie de développement qui affecte l'aspect esthétique des dents. L'association de la micro-abrasion à l'éclaircissement externe a montré des résultats satisfaisants pour l'amélioration de l'esthétique des dents atteintes de fluorose légère. L'objectif de ce travail est de mettre le point sur l'intérêt de cette association ainsi que sur ses différents effets sur la surface amélaire.
