Area of Science:

Dentistry
Developmental Biology

Background:

Dens evaginatus is a rare developmental dental anomaly.
Fracture or wear of the dens evaginatus tubercle can lead to pulp complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To review dens evaginatus and discuss its clinical management.
To highlight the importance of early recognition and treatment.

Main Methods:

Literature review of dens evaginatus.
Discussion of clinical management strategies.

Main Results:

Fracture or wear often causes pulp necrosis and periapical infection before root completion.
Timely treatment can prevent pulp vitality loss.

Conclusions:

Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for managing dens evaginatus.
Apexification followed by endodontic therapy is a successful treatment for nonvital teeth with incomplete root development.
