Abstract

Endodontists sometimes encounter teeth with a malformation called dens invaginatus. The teeth have a tooth like hard structure in them, which is actually an invagination of the same tooth structure. The teeth are a challenge for endodontic treatment because of their varied shape which may include invaginated tooth structure making access and biomechanical preparation difficult. Wide apical foramen and thin walls of root also complicate the matter. This case report presents a similar case which was treated non surgically. In the case discussed the invaginated portion of the tooth has been removed using a bur and the apical matrix was attained using MTA.
