Dens evaginatus (DE) is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by presence of an extra cusp arising from occlusal or lingual surfaces. Isolated occurrence or concomitant presence of DE with other dental anomalies has been reported. DE commonly affects permanent teeth and is rarely seen in primary dentition. Treatment may be conservative or radical. This article presents two unusual cases of concomitant occurrence of a supernumerary tooth and DE affecting maxillary deciduous lateral incisor and conservative management of DE occurring concurrently with a possible Oehler's type I invagination in maxillary permanent lateral incisor.
畸形中央尖(DE)是一种罕见的发育异常,其特征是在咬合面或舌面出现一个额外的牙尖。已有报道称DE单独出现或与其他牙齿异常同时存在。DE通常影响恒牙,在乳牙列中很少见。治疗方法可能是保守的或激进的。本文介绍了两例异常病例,一例是多生牙与DE同时出现在上颌乳侧切牙,另一例是上颌恒侧切牙中DE与可能的奥勒I型内陷同时出现并对DE进行保守治疗。
