Morphologic findings in dens evaginatus.

P A Reichart, D Metah, M Sukasem

    International Journal of Oral Surgery
    |February 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Scanning electron microscopy revealed complex morphology in dens evaginatus specimens. Some cases showed dental hard material, suggesting a repair attempt within the evagination.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Pathology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Dens evaginatus is a rare dental anomaly.
    • Understanding its complex morphology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Previous studies often relied on decalcified material, potentially limiting morphological insights.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the detailed morphology of dens evaginatus using advanced imaging techniques.
    • To compare findings from light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
    • To explore the internal composition of the evagination, including potential repair mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of 10 dens evaginatus specimens.
    • Utilized both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
    • Morphological analysis of the evagination and its internal contents.

    Main Results:

    • Morphological findings confirmed dens evaginatus diagnosis.
    • SEM revealed a more complex evagination structure than observed in decalcified samples alone.
    • Two specimens exhibited dental hard material within the evagination.
    • Other specimens contained necrotic pulpal material within the evagination.

    Conclusions:

    • Dens evaginatus exhibits complex morphology not fully appreciated with conventional methods.
    • The presence of dental hard material suggests a potential biological repair response within the evagination.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the implications of these findings for clinical management.
