Abstract:
Dens invaginatus is an unusual malformation.The difficulty in recognizing a tooth with dens invaginatus frequently results in the delayed diagnosis followed by unpromising treatment outcome because the abnormality cannot be seen until the tooth is involved with pulp necrosis even apical periodontitis.The application of CBCT scanning and dental microscope is playing a significantly important role in both diagnosis and treatment of dens invaginatus.This paper presents 2 cases with dens invaginatus which were well diagnosed and properly trea-ted,reviews the pathology and intends to get the principle ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of dens invaginatus.
