Dens in Dente Tooth – Radiograph, Treatment, Classification, Causes
Dens in dente, also known as dens invaginatus, is a developmental anomaly that results in an abnormally shaped tooth. Dens in dente is a result of an invagination in the dental papilla during tooth development, which can occur in various teeth but is most commonly seen in the maxillary lateral incisors but can also involve other anterior teeth. This article explores the complexities of dens in dente, focusing on its clinical examination, diagnosis, and treatment options. Dens invaginatus originates from an invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla during tooth development. This can lead to a variety of associated anterior crown forms, often resulting in complex tooth morphology.…
