Dens Invaginatus (DI) is a developmental anomaly which eventually leads to pulp necrosis and has several clinical implications in sufficient instrumentation and obturation of the root canal system. The present clinical report presents a rare case of a maxillary canine affected with DI leading to pulp necrosis combined with a previous dental trauma, which also led to irreversible pulp damage of the adjacent lateral incisor. A 14-year-old male patient with a history of dental trauma at the right maxillary region, one year earlier, was referred with pain and swelling at the apical area of the right maxillary canine.

Purpose: The European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) has developed this best clinical practice guidance to help clinicians manage deep carious lesions in primary teeth.
Methods: Three expert groups conducted systematic reviews of the relevant literature. The topics were: (1) conventional techniques (2) Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) and (3) materials.
Purpose: To systematically review the clinical performance of restorative materials after pulp therapy of carious primary teeth. It is part 2 of a systematic review on the clinical effectiveness of restorative materials for the management of carious primary teeth supporting the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) guideline development.
Methods: Four electronic databases were systematically searched up to December 28th, 2020.
Purpose: To systematically search the available evidence and evaluate the clinical effectiveness of restorative materials for restoration of carious primary teeth. The findings aimed to support the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) guidelines development.
Methods: Literature search was performed by searching 4 electronic databases for eligible randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) comparing restorative materials for the restoration of carious primary teeth up to December 28th, 2020.
