“…Composite restoration procedure has been widely used to seal the lumen of the invagination. Moreover, the use of calcium hydroxide to cover the bottom and the buccal wall of the lumen and the use of glass ionomer as a definitive restoration were also described (Thakur et al, 2014).…”

Dens invaginatus is a developmental malformation resulting from the invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla. Type 1 invagination, is most common form. However, it may be easily overlooked because of the absence of any significant clinical signs of this anomaly. Since the risk of necrosis and pulp complication is higher in such dental malformation, an early identification of the affected tooth is important and the prophylactic management is recommended. The aim of this report is to describe an unusual case presenting invagination affecting four teeth. The clinical and radiographic features will also be highlighted and the prophylactic treatment explained.

“…The limitations related with the conventional radiography in the classification and therapy of DI can be overcome in the future with the growing availability of computerized threedimensional imaging (6). In this paper, a case of periapical lesion related with type 1 DI was presented and the role of imaging method was discussed.…”

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a dental malformation commonly thought to occur as a result of an infolding of the enamel organ into the adjacent dental papilla during the development of the tooth. It shows a wide spectrum of variations in morphology and usually affects the maxillary lateral incisors. This study presents type 1 DI involving bilateral maxillary lateral incisors, which presented as an incidental radiographic finding in the laterals and was associated with a periapical lesion in the right one without caries. The case was successfully treated using nonsurgical endodontic treatment.Dens invajinatus (Dİ), mine organının diş gelişimi sırasında bitişiğindeki dental papillaya doğru katlanması sonucu oluştuğu düşünülen bir dental malformasyondur. Morfolojik olarak geniş bir varyasyon yelpazesi gösterir ve sıklıkla maksiller lateral dişleri etkiler. Bu çalışmada, rastlantısal radyolojik bulgu olarak tip 1 Dİ tespit edilen maksiller lateral dişler ve periapikal lezyonu olan çürüksüz sağ maksiller lateral diş ve bu dişin cerrahi olmayan endodontik tedavisi anlatılmaktadır.

“…In most cases, it appears to simply represent an accentuation in the development of a lingual pit [5]. The reported prevalence of adult teeth affected with dens invaginatus is between 0.3% and 10% with the problem observed in 0.25% to 26.1% of individuals examined [6]. The etiology of dens invaginatus is still unclear.…”

Dens invaginatus occurs as a result of invagination of the enamel organ. These cases may present difficulties with respect to its diagnosis and treatment because of canal morphology. It frequently leads to caries, pulpal, and periodontal involvement with necrosis and loss of attachment. The knowledge of classification and anatomical variations of teeth with dens invaginatus are of utmost importance for correct treatment. This paper presents two cases of dens invaginatus and its treatment depending on the patient symptoms either by prophylactic sealing or root canal treatment.
