Bilateral Mandibular Premolar Dens Invaginations: A Case Report

Abstract

Dens invaginations are a rare developmental defect most commonly affecting maxillary lateral incisors, with very few reported cases in mandibular teeth. We describe a rare case of bilateral first mandibular premolar dens invaginations type I, where apparently health teeth presented with periapical pathology.

Methodology for Morphometric Analysis of Modern Human Contralateral Premolars

“…Despite the lack of studies on the expected anatomy in bilateral teeth, reports on bilateral symmetry of unexpected and aberrant root canal morphology have not been scant in the dental scientific literature [99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109]. However, most of these studies have been on single incidences of bilateral anomalies.…”
