This study reports a rare case of dens invaginatus affecting all four quadrants of the mouth. It highlights the unusual occurrence of this dental anomaly in mandibular premolars, alongside maxillary incisors.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
  • Dental Anatomy

Background:

  • Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla.
  • It most commonly affects permanent maxillary incisors, particularly the lateral incisors.

Observation:

  • This case presents a rare instance of dens invaginatus involving all four quadrants of the dentition.
  • Specifically, it details the involvement of maxillary lateral incisors and, unusually, the right and left mandibular premolars.

Findings:

  • The study documents the presence of dens invaginatus in both anterior (maxillary incisors) and posterior (mandibular premolars) permanent teeth.
  • This presentation expands the known spectrum of dens invaginatus distribution within the dental arches.

Implications:

  • Understanding the varied presentation of dens invaginatus is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • This case underscores the importance of thorough radiographic examination to detect anomalies in potentially affected teeth, including rare mandibular involvement.
