Dental invagination (DI) is a tooth malformation that usually affects permanent teeth. Its precise etiology is still controversial and represents a clinical challenge as it can favor the development of carious lesion or periodontal inflammation. This paper presents a case of a 23-year-old Caucasian male, where an atypical buccal DI could not be completely diagnosed in the dens invaginatus category. Furthermore, other differential diagnoses could not be confirmed. The dental malformation was seen on a permanent maxillary first incisor and was associated with periodontal inflammation and attachment loss. Successful clinical management of this case consisted of surgical restorative treatment and regular follow-up, accompanied by thorough oral hygiene procedures.
牙内陷（DI）是一种通常影响恒牙的牙齿畸形。其确切病因仍存在争议，并且是一项临床挑战，因为它可能促进龋病病变或牙周炎症的发展。本文介绍了一名23岁白种男性的病例，其非典型颊侧牙内陷无法完全诊断为牙中牙类型。此外，其他鉴别诊断也无法得到证实。该牙齿畸形出现在上颌恒中切牙上，并伴有牙周炎症和附着丧失。该病例的成功临床管理包括手术修复治疗和定期随访，并辅以彻底的口腔卫生措施。
