“…This figure is considerably lower than the result of the study by Cakıcı et al[26] (0.8%) and by Kirzioğlu and Ceylan[27] (0.8%) among the Turkish population, and the result of the study by Ezoddini et al, (5.8%) among Iranian population, and the study by Poyton and Morgan. [28] These variations in prevalence between different populations may be due to ethnic variations, but may also be influenced by differences in criteria used for interpretation of dens invaginatus and also the specific teeth examined.…”

“…Hamasha and Alomari[15] found a prevalence of 0.65% for individuals and 43.2% for all teeth in Jordanian dental patients. On the basis of person prevalence, the results of Cakici et al[26] and Kirzioğlu and Ceylan[27] were 1.3% and 12%, respectively, in Turkish dental patients.…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dens invaginatus in a sample of Turkish dental patients.Materials and Methods:The sample included 6, 912 panoramic radiographs from different Turkish dental patients. The ages of the patients ranged from 18 to 50 years. A tooth was considered having dens invaginatus if an infolding of a radiopaque ribbon-like structure equal in density to enamel was seen extending from the cingulum into the root canal. Maxillary and mandibular teeth were evaluated on panoramic radiographs to determine the type of dens invaginatus using Oehlers’ classification.Results:The overall incidence of patients with dens invaginatus was 0.17%. Dens invaginatus were detected in 15 teeth of a total of 192 150 teeth to give a tooth prevalence of 0.008%. Maxillary lateral incisors were most commonly affected teeth in the mouth (80% of cases), followed by maxillary canine teeth (20% of cases). The bilateral incidence of a symmetrical distribution was 25%.Conclusion:The occurrence of dens invaginatus among this Turkish population was rare. Attention should be paid to the presence of dens invaginatus and the treatment problems associated with it.

“…On the other hand, it has been indicated that the bilateral dens invaginatus may be related with other dental anomalies such as microdontia, gemination, fusion, and taurodontism (13,14). In the present study, the symmetric dens invaginatus in the subjects was found to be 23.1%.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and characteristics of dens invaginatus in anterior teeth and to classify the type of dens invaginatus in a sample of Turkish Anatolian population. Study design: A retrospective study was performed using full-mouth periapical and panoramic radiographs of 1012 patients. Maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were evaluated for the presence and characteristics of dens invaginatus. Statistical evaluation of the presence of dens invaginatus related to gender was performed by the Pearson chi-squared test. Results: Dens invaginatus was observed in 13 out of 1012 subjects and in only maxillary lateral incisors. There were no periapical lesions in teeth with types I and II, whereas both of the subjects with type III had apical periodontitis at the time of referral. Males and females were almost equally affected by dens invaginatus (P= 0.98). Conclusion: The anomaly was detected in only maxillary lateral incisors with no gender difference and the most commonly observed type of dens invaginatus was type I (81.25%).

“…The incidence of dens invaginatus has been reported highest in maxillary lateral incisors with a Type I pattern. [12] Histological studies had shown intact dentine, presence of vital connective tissue or even fine canals with communication to the pulp in the invagination. [13] It has been suggested that the thin enamel at the invagination may break down and microorganisms may gain entry to the pulp by invading dentinal tubules.…”

The prevalent notion about maxillary central incisor with normal external morphology is a tooth with single root and root canal. A case in which all four maxillary incisors were having Type II canal configurations (Vertucci's classification) is reported, in addition, the lateral incisors revealed dens invaginatus with a Type I pattern as suggested by Ohler's classification and a large periapical lesion was seen in relation to the right lateral incisor. The diagnosis was confirmed with the aid of spiral computed tomography (CT) and canals obturated. Nonsurgical healing of the lesion was assessed by reviewing the case at prefixed intervals of time.

The prevalence of anterior teeth with dens invaginatus in the western mediterranean region of Turkey

Abstract: A careful oral examination, radiographs, a suitable treatment plan and follow-up programme are crucial for early diagnosis and treatment for teeth with dens invaginatus.
