AI Article Synopsis
- Dens invaginatus is a dental abnormality that complicates treatment, especially in endodontics.
- The case study focused on treating a maxillary central incisor with Type III dens invaginatus using both nonsurgical and surgical therapies, guided by detailed analysis through computed tomography (CT).
- A 4-year follow-up showed a reduction in the apical lesion with no additional issues, confirming the effectiveness of the combined treatment approach and the usefulness of CT in understanding dental structure.
Article Abstract
Dens invaginatus is a developmental abnormality that alters dental morphology; as a result, treating this condition is a challenge for endodontic practices. This article describes how a combination of nonsurgical and surgical therapies was utilized to treat a maxillary central incisor with Type III dens invaginatus and vital pulp. The treatment plan included using computed tomography (CT) for a detailed analysis of the dental anatomy and periapical area, endodontic and surgical procedures, and a 4-year follow-up period that included periodic clinical and radiographic examinations. The follow-up examinations revealed a regression of the apical lesion and no other signs or symptoms. Based on the present case report, the authors concluded that this combination of surgical and nonsurgical approaches was effective and that CT is a valuable auxiliary tool for the study of dental anatomy.
