“…[7][8][9] It is very important to achieve a timely diagnosis and treatment, although due to the complex anatomical alteration, it can represent a real diagnostic challenge and a challenge for endodontic treatment. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Dens in dente can be diagnosed clinically by unusual crown morphology, conical crown tip pits, claw-like cusp, deep palatal or lingual pit of incisors or through a coronoapical radiograph, however, tomography helps to evaluate the type of malformation since there are III types of invaginations, proposed by Oehlers in 1957 (Figure 1). 6 Type I is minor enamel-lined invagination, within the limits of the crown and not extends beyond the cementoenamel junction.…”

Dens in dente is an anomaly of dental development characterized by focal or multifocal invaginations of the enamel in the dental papilla before its mineralization, it can result in additional layers of enamel, cementum, dentin or pulp tissue, it is also known as invaginated tooth or invaginated odontoma. The clinical case of an 18-year-old female patient is presented, she comes to the clinic for referring halitosis and purulent exudate for 1 month, a clinical and radiographic examination of tooth 22 was performed, a radiopaque invagination line was observed that penetrates the portion radicular in the cervical third, wide radiolucent area in the apical third, sinuous course and purulent exudate. Root canal treatment was performed with a flexible rotary system and canal obturation with a lateral technique and vertical compaction, restored with resin.
