Dens invaginations are a rare developmental defect most commonly affecting maxillary lateral incisors, with very few reported cases in mandibular teeth. We describe a rare case of bilateral first mandibular premolar dens invaginations type I, where apparently health teeth presented with periapical pathology.

An unusual case of dens invaginatus on a mandibular second molar: a case report.
Restor Dent Endod

The present case report describes the endodontic treatment of a type III B dens invaginatus (DI) in a three-rooted mandibular second molar since the invagination invades the root and extends apically. Clinical and cone-beam computed tomography examination of the mandibular second molar showed a broadened coronal morphology, DI, a third root, periapical radiolucency, and compression of a distal root canal by the invagination, which developed an atypical semilunar shape. The tooth was diagnosed with pulpal necrosis, symptomatic apical, and peri-invagination periodontitis.

This report highlights successful management of a rare case of a mandibular premolar with Oehler's Type IIIb Dens Invaginatus (DI) and peri-invagination periodontitis with guided intentional replantation without root canal treatment. A 22-year-old female patient reported with discomfort and a sinus tract associated with tooth number 21. Clinical examination and cone beam computed tomography revealed tooth number 21 had an Oehler's Type IIIb DI with peri-invagination periodontitis.

Objective: Recent studies indicate that 3 morphological types of atlanto-occipital joint (AOJ) exist in the craniovertebral junction and are associated with type II basilar invagination (BI) and atlanto-occipital instability. However, the actual biomechanical effects remain unclear. This study aims to investigate biomechanical differences among AOJ types I, II, and III, and provide further evidence of atlanto-occipital instability in type II BI.

Article Synopsis
- - Dens invaginatus (DI) is a rare dental condition that occurs when the enamel organ grows into the dental papilla, making treatment and diagnosis difficult due to its unusual canal structure.
- - A case study examined a 12-year-old boy with DI affecting his maxillary lateral incisors, showcasing unique clinical and radiographic features.
- - The treatment involved sealing the invagination with flowable composite and using an etchant and bonding agent, highlighting a multidisciplinary approach that can improve patient outcomes in dental care.

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.
