Dens Invaginatus (DI) or dens in dente is an uncommon anomaly which mostly affects permanent lateral incisors, and it is very rare in molars. This article presents the conservative endodontic management of four different cases of DI and a discussion of the endodontic literature for this malformation. Three upper lateral incisors Type II, IIIa and IIIb, and an upper first molar Type II are shown. The most conservative approach possible was carried out. Three of the cases were obturated using the continuous wave technique. In one of the cases, it was possible to treat only the invagination with MTA and preserve the pulp vitality of the main canal. To make a correct diagnosis and to treat in the most conservative way possible, a DI is necessary to know its classification and use tools such as CBCT and magnification.
