Dens in dente, also known as dens invaginatus, dilated composite odontoma or deep foramen caecum, is a developmental malformation which usually affects maxillary incisor teeth, particularly lateral incisors. It may occur, however, in teeth anywhere within the jaws but other locations are comparatively rare. It can occur within both the crown and the root, although crown invaginations are more common. In this paper a case of multiple bilateral dens in dente involving maxillary and mandibular premolars is presented.
牙中牙,也称为牙内陷、扩张性复合牙瘤或深盲管,是一种发育畸形,通常影响上颌切牙,尤其是侧切牙。然而,它也可能发生在颌骨内的任何牙齿中,但其他部位相对少见。它可发生在牙冠和牙根内,尽管牙冠内陷更为常见。本文报告一例累及上颌和下颌前磨牙的双侧多发性牙中牙病例。
