Abstract

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly, manifested by the insertion of the enamel and dentin inside crown and root. Aberration is manifested by the broad spectrum of morphological variations from foramen coecum to the smaller or larger root insertion, sometimes to the very apex. The treatment depends on the type of anomaly and whether there is a communication with the pulp and the periapical tissue. The purpose of this study was to show endodontic treatment possibilities for this anomaly.
