Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease that affects copper metabolism. Anomalies can be seen in the dento-maxillofacial structures of WD patients. Dens invaginatus (DI) is an uncommon tooth anomaly, and its incidence in decidious and permanent molars is even lower. This case report primarily explored the multiple DI of a patient with WD. A 9-year-old boy was admitted to our clinic with complaints of pain and swelling in the right lower molar area. It was learnt that the patient was diagnosed with WD after he was born. Fistula, submandibular lymphadenopathy and diffuse swelling were detected. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), multiple DIs were observed in bilateral bimaxillary four first molars and deciduous molars. When the patient's systemic condition was considered, extraction was planned under oral antibiotic therapy and was performed. During the 6-month follow-up, uneventful healing was observed.

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.

Background: Dens invaginatus is a developmental abnormality originating from tooth development, including coronal invaginatus and radicular invaginatus. The reported incidence varies greatly due to diagnostic techniques, classification criteria and race. The incidence of dens invaginatus in China was not clear, and the impact of dens invaginatus on periodontal support tissue were rarely reported.

Retreatment of a Failed Regenerative Endodontic Treatment in an Immature Tooth with a Horizontal Root Fracture: A Case Report.

Int J Clin Pediatr Dent

October 2024

Department of Endodontics, Galilee College of Dental Sciences, Nahariya; Azrieli Faculty of Medicine, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel.

Unlabelled: Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has been suggested for the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature teeth. There are only a few reports of using RET to treat a horizontal root fracture. The aim of this paper is to describe successful regenerative retreatment in a tooth with a horizontal root fracture and dens invaginatus.

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.
