Dens invaginatus - A review & case report

Root canal treatment of teeth with complex root canal anatomy such as Dens Invaginatus can be problematic because infected pulpal tissues may remain in inaccessible areas of the canal system. The cleaning and debridement of such root canal systems are therefore challenging. An immature apical root end development is another challenge in Root Canal Treatment (RCT) especially in controlling the apical extent of the filling material and achieving an apical seal. This case report presents the endodontic treatment, apicocurettage and retrofilling using MTA in a case of an open apex and class II Dens invaginatus.
