Dens invaginatus (DI) is a dental anomaly associated with complex internal anatomy. Our article discusses an unusual maxillary lateral incisor with two DI. The treatment was planned and performed using cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging. During clinical and radiographic evaluations, tooth #7 was diagnosed with DI and pulp necrosis with asymptomatic apical abscess. Periapical radiographs of the tooth showed 2 roots and complex internal anatomy. CBCT evaluation revealed tooth #7 had 2 separate cul-de-sacs (that separate the main canal into four portions). Root canal treatment was completed in 2 visits. The tooth was obturated with EndoSeal MTA. At the 6-month re-evaluation, the patient remained asymptomatic and his tooth had remained functional. Clinical and radiographic examination showed tooth #7 had no sensitivity to percussion or palpation, probe depths within normal limits (#3 mm), no mobility and continued improvement of periapical lesion, despite the commencement of orthodontic Rx 3months previous. Radiographic assessment at the one-year follow up showed significant osseous healing of the preoperative lesion even after the orthodontic forces.
牙内陷(DI)是一种与复杂内部解剖结构相关的牙齿异常。我们的文章讨论了一颗不寻常的上颌侧切牙伴有两个牙内陷。治疗方案是通过锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)成像制定并实施的。在临床和影像学评估中,7号牙被诊断为牙内陷和牙髓坏死伴无症状根尖脓肿。该牙的根尖片显示有2个牙根和复杂的内部解剖结构。CBCT评估显示7号牙有2个独立的盲管(将主根管分成四个部分)。根管治疗分两次完成。该牙用EndoSeal MTA进行了根管充填。在6个月的复查中,患者无症状,牙齿仍能正常行使功能。临床和影像学检查显示,尽管3个月前开始了正畸治疗,但7号牙对叩诊或触诊无敏感,探诊深度在正常范围内(3mm),无松动,根尖病变持续改善。一年随访时的影像学评估显示,即使在正畸力作用后,术前病变仍有明显的骨质愈合。
