  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Radiology

Background:

  • Dens in dente is a developmental anomaly where the enamel organ invaginates into the crown of a tooth.
  • This condition can lead to various clinical complications, including pulpal and periapical pathosis.
  • Its occurrence in molars, particularly with challenging anatomy, presents diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.
